All other grants and research funding from all other sources (including OMAFRA Competitive Programs, such as New Directions, Food Safety Research program, etc.) must calculate the required overhead fees and show these in their budgets for those projects. Normally there are 2 types of project expenses that are exempt from overhead – graduate student stipends and research station access fees.
