2) Application and Funding Policies

a) Electronic Approval Process - New Program

The following program has been added to the Electronic Approval process:

• CIHR Doctoral Research Award
  

This means that for this program, all applications will be electronically directed to the Institution Paid for approval. The eApproval process allows Administrators at an Institution Paid to review and electronically approve applications for which the applicant has identified their institution as the Institution Paid. Once the applications are approved, the Institution Paid will be submitting the applications electronically to CIHR on behalf of the applicant.

CIHR Wants to Hear from You

Absence does not make the heart grow fonder – CIHR wants to hear from you as much as possible. There is a wonderful story to tell about the results and benefits of health research in Canada, but CIHR needs your help to truly make this a page turner. So, you are encouraged to let CIHR know when you have or, better still, are close to publishing the results of research funded by CIHR. Please contact CIHR at mediarelations@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.
