Description
CIHR would like to express sincere appreciation to all of you who have assisted CIHR over the last three months as we have managed an intensive schedule of COVID-19 related funding initiatives. Thanks to the over 1,000 reviewers who volunteered to help deliver the phase II COVID-19 rapid response funding opportunity, we are on schedule to deliver the results by mid-June.
It is now time to turn the attention to the Spring 2020 Project Grant competition.CIHR would like to announce that the review of these competition applications will proceed this summer. As promised, with the exception of those funds used to provide bridge funding or extensions, CIHR has preserved the funding envelope designated for the Spring 2020 competition. As indicated in a previous correspondence, this amounts to approximately $245M. Spring 2020 applications submitted by Nominated Principal Applicants (NPAs) who did not receive a financial extension will be reviewed, unless specifically withdrawn by the NPAs. Please note that NPAs who were offered a financial extension linked to the decision we took around the Spring 2020 competition will be contacted by CIHR to discuss options.
CIHR is offering two Ask Me Anything sessions to give you answers to your questions about the Spring 2020 Project Grant comptition.
