Data Content of RIS

The Research Information System contains data on all research grants and contracts administered through the University and through affiliated hospitals.

For the Faculty of Medicine, the data from 1984 on is available, and for all other faculties, award information is valid from April 1, 1996 to the present.

The information includes award amount, time period, names of investigator and co-investigators, agency and program funding the research, location of research.

Awards which are administered through affiliated hospitals rather than UofT are included in RIS. They are coded "Application Type" AF. Because of the painstaking procedure involved in gathering these data, they are usually about one year behind.

Those with access to RIS can see information on awarded research grant applications, for all departments across U of T.

$ Amounts in RIS are total awards, not account balances.

Only award amounts which are actually entered in the budget will appear in reports.

All award amounts in RIS are in Canadian dollars.
