Researchers, especially those new to Queen’s University, should visit the Office of Research Services (ORS) website - http://www.queensu.ca/ors/index.html. The ORS provides advice and administrative support services for university and hospital researchers, and is an integral part of all grant and contract development and applications. Before an application can be submitted to a funding agency, it must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research Services.
