Good morning everyone,
There is a CIHR workshop tomorrow hosted by Dr. Sutherland. It will be an interactive time to review the application process, tips for successful applications, and review any questions you might have about the application. Zoom link is here: Topic: CIHR Workshop with Dr. Sutherland Time: Aug 6, 2025 10:00 AM Mountain Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://uleth.zoom.us/j/99648972911 Meeting ID: 996 4897 2911
This 1.5-hour virtual workshop will be very interactive, and participants will learn more about:
* Drafting proposals to meet the adjudication criteria. * Selecting peer review panels strategically. * Decoding reviewers' feedback & responding for successful resubmission.
The deadline to register a CIHR project grant is Wednesday, August 13, 6pm MST. Registration requires a short summary of the project, a total budget number, and key terms and identifying the institute and the committee you are applying to. Information about registration is found here: https://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/49503.html
For the registration, you do not need to work with ORIS or obtain institutional approval. The registration allows CIHR to prepare review committees to fit the application demand, so the summary and key terms you select will determine the background and expertise of the researchers who will review your application. Most of the information can be updated or changed between the registration and application stage (such as the other collaborators or co-applicants for the project).
The internal deadline for the full proposal is Wednesday, August 27. The external CIHR deadline is September 10, 6pm MST. I would be happy to work with you and provide feedback and information about the application.
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Cheers, Nicole van Rootselaar, PhD (she/her) Research Facilitator (Health/Medical Sciences) Office of Research & Innovation Sciences B634, University Hall University of Lethbridge 4401 University Drive W Lethbridge, AB T1K 3Y4
