Space Sub-Committee

The Space and Utilization Sub-Committee reports to the Research Coordinating Committee. Members of the Research Institute requiring space for their research may apply to this sub-committee.

Revised Terms of Reference

1. Eligible individuals submitting grants for funding (at stage of science review) should complete a Request for Space Form and forward it to the CHEO Research Institute Administration Office, Space and Utilization Committee. This will aid in planning but will not indicate a commitment for space. These Request for Space Applications can also be submitted upon receipt of funding (see attached form). Space requests will not be considered without this application.
   
   
2. Space should not be allocated solely on a departmental basis.
   
   
3. Rooms will only be allocated for funded projects for Senior Investigator, Investigators and Associate Investigator Members of the CHEO-RI, whose primary appointment is at CHEO.
   
   
4. Rooms will only be allocated for projects that receive a minimum of 6 months funding with preference being given to longer-term grants. It will be expected that space be vacated, if required by other projects, normally within 2 months of termination of funding (longer periods of time may be negotiated with the Space and Utilization Committee).
   
   
5. Geographic full time CHEO staff who dedicate a minimum of 60% of their time to research at CHEO, may apply for an office (i.e. be single occupant).
   
   
6. Due to shortage of space, the Space & Utilization Sub-Committee is attempting to allocate dry lab space in block assignments (50 sq. Ft. per 1 FTE) and group consolidation has begun. It is understood that there will be a critical mass of space allocated to accommodate each group’s activities, wherever possible, as determined by the Space and Utilization Sub-Committee, and it will be up to Head(s) of such groups to incorporate increasing numbers of personnel into assigned blocks. Consolidated blocked space will be reviewed annually.
