Note: Any work done on behalf of a company that is not directly related to an active research collaboration with an TMU researcher (i.e. funding/in-kind support is provided to a researcher, and the results at least partially belong to the researcher for publication purposes) is charged at the external rate.

Any work done directly for a PIs research program (by the PI, a post-doc, graduate student or undergraduate student) as part of their duties related to their connection with TMU (whether that be employee or adjunct appointment) shall be billed the internal flat rate.
