Reminder to all recipients of BBDC funding for programs such as studentships, fellowships, equipment grants, operating grants, pilot and feasibility programs, etc.:

1. An essential condition of all BBDC programs is the acknowledgement of BBDC support, where appropriate, in all publications relevant to the BBDC-supported research program. These acknowledgements will be monitored on an ongoing basis by the BBDC office. Failure to appropriately acknowledge the BBDC in relevant publications will be considered grounds for suspending future eligibility for BBDC funding programs. Individuals who fail to acknowledge the BBDC support appropriately will be given one warning, following which eligibility for BBDC program support will be withdrawn for a 24 month period.  

2. In addition, funding recipients must provide a final report at the end of the funding period if requested or if outlined in the terms and conditions of the funding program.  Failure to provide the report by the deadline date specified will be considered grounds for suspending future eligibility for BBDC funding programs.
