15.06 Support for External Research Funding
Although the terms and conditions of employment of Part-time Employees, appointed under a Schedule A or Regular Appointment, do not require these Employees to carry out research, scholarly activity or university service, the University recognizes that some Employees, outside their employment responsibilities, may wish to seek external research funding. To assist with these endeavours, the University agrees to make every effort to provide support on the same basis that Full-time faculty members’ applications are supported, and agrees to administer grants under the terms required by the granting agencies.
15.07 Research Fund
The Employer shall provide a professional development fund of $7000 for Part-time Employees in each academic year. All Employees shall be eligible to apply for allocations from this fund in accordance with the policies and procedures developed by the Vice-President Academic in consultation with the Senate Research Committee.

Before researchers proceed with their research, they must submit a complete application to the REB. Once an application has been approved, the chair of the REB will send a letter of ethics approval and to the researcher(s) who are then free to commence their work. This process applies to funded and unfunded research conducted by faculty, staff, anyone representing St. Thomas University, and those recruiting participants from the St. Thomas University Community.
