Expenses that are extraordinary and incremental to those already covered by existing sources of funds and have been incurred between March 15 and November 15, 2020, can be covered by the CRCEF, at up to 75%. It is recognized that the costs incurred must have been paid from the project or from other sources until such time that a partial reimbursement (up to 75%) is received.
Ramping-down expenses are not eligible.
Institutions must ensure that all eligible expenses meet the Stage 3 eligible expenses criteria and are properly documented for monitoring, reporting and auditing purposes. While documentation kept on file is for 100% of the eligible expense, funding requested to the CRCEF program is for a maximum of 75% of the eligible expense.
The criteria the institution uses to select projects that will receive support for their eligible expenses must be posted on its public facing website.
