Funding, News and Announcements

CIHR recently announced that it will reinstate the Spring 2020 Project Grant competition with revised timelines to adjudicate the competition over the summer (June-August peer review process). As such, CIHR would like to clarify what this means for applicants.

To be clear, all applications previously submitted to the Spring Project Grant competition will proceed to peer review, with only the following exceptions:

• Nominated Principal Applicants (NPAs) who were offered a financial extension linked to their Investigator-Initiated research (IIR) grant or bridge grant will need to take extra steps to keep their application in the Spring 2020 competition.
• For all other NPAs, if you wish to withdraw your application from the competition, please notify CIHR by sending an e-mail to the Contact Centre no later than June 12, 2020.

Please note that CIHR will contact any NPA who previously chose to withdraw their application in order to confirm if they would like to remain withdrawn from this competition as we move forward.
