CIHR UD Meeting

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on April 6, 2020 in Announcements

CIHR is taking the necessary actions to support and address COVID-19 impacts on its operations. As you are aware, competition timelines will be modified since the priority right now is to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the health and safety of CIHR staff and the research community.

To follow up on a question received during yesterday’s University Delegates meeting, please find more information on the COVID-19 impacts to the Scholarship and Fellowship competitions:

In the coming weeks, timelines for all individual funding opportunities will be modified to reflect the required changes. In the meantime, it can be expected that competition and peer review activities will not take place before July 2020. As more information becomes available, please refer to a specific program or funding opportunity webpage on ResearchNet to learn how COVID-19 may impact Scholarships and Fellowships competition timelines.

CIHR continues to monitor the situation closely. For all information related to CIHR’s response to the pandemic, please consult CIHR’s COVID-19 webpage.
