How to Apply

Please ensure you review the full guidelines posted by the sponsor. Applicants should submit their complete application and signed OR-5 to the Research Services Office research.services@uoguelph.ca at least seven (7) days in advance of CIHR's external deadline. 

For smaller programs or special calls, the Nominated Principal Applicant uploads the full application in the ResearchNet portal. Please note for these programs that clicking submit will send the application to CIHR and not the Research Services Office. This should only be done once you have received the signed signature page from RSO.

For standard, cyclical programs such as the bi-annual Project Grants competition where Research Support Services is responsible for submission to CIHR, a separate and specific Research Alert will be posted for applicant information.
