Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Policy on Compliance and Non-compliance (2000)
The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) is funded jointly by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). The CCAC Policy on Compliance and Non-compliance, revised March 2000, states: "All relevant granting agencies and government ministries and departments are notified of institutions placed in Non-compliance".
"On receipt of a statement on Non-compliance and after reviewing the full evidence, NSERC and CIHR reserve the right, either separately or together, to bring their concerns to the appropriate authorities in the research institution concerned and, if they deem it necessary, to implement such financial or other sanctions as may be in the power of either Council. Such sanctions may be taken whether or not the Non-compliance concerns research funded by either Council and might include the freezing or withdrawal of research funds for any or all research programs funded by either or both Research Councils in the institution."
