Project Grant – Fall 2017 Registration Instructions - CIHR

Project Grant – Fall 2017 Registration Instructions before you begin. Make sure you have read the specific Funding Opportunity details.

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation projects at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors;
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

Key Project Grant Points:
• The number of grants funded will depend on the requested budgets and peer review recommendations.
• The Project Grant competition will also have a specific funding envelope to support early career investigators. Competition processes and peer review for this cohort will be fully integrated within the competition as a whole with no additional steps being required on the part of the applicant.
• The Project Grant program has no formal requirements for partnering; however, depending on the nature of the research project a commitment (cash or in-kind) from interested or engaged knowledge user(s) or other partners will be reasonably expected by peer reviewers.
• Refer to the Individual Eligibility Requirements regarding the eligibility requirements for individuals and institutions.
• While individuals can apply to Foundation Grant and Project Grant competitions during overlapping competitions, the same application cannot be submitted to both competitions
• An individual cannot submit more than two Project Grant applications per competition as a Nominated Principal Applicant (NPA). If the NPA submits more than two applications, CIHR will automatically withdraw the last application submitted based on time-stamp of submission.
• Individuals who hold a Foundation Grant in the role of Program Leader are not eligible to apply to the Project Grant competition in the role of Principal Applicant
• The research proposal should stand alone (i.e. it should contain all the information required to support your research plan) and should contain a complete description of your project. Additional attachments may be uploaded under Other Application Material task in ResearchNet. There is no page limit to these attachments. Reviewers are under no obligation to read Other Application Materials.
