Institutional Eligibility to Administer CIHR Grant and Award Funds
CIHR does not provide grant and award funds directly to the recipient but rather to the recipient's institution. The institution, often referred to as the "Institution Paid", holds the funds and administers a CIHR account from which the recipient can draw upon.
Before recipients' grant and award funds can flow to an Institution Paid the institution must apply to obtain a CIHR Common Grant and Award account by completing the eligibility requirements process and signing the Agreement on the Administration of Agency Grants and Awards by Research Institutions.
CIHR’s list of eligible institutions includes Canadian postsecondary institutions (universities and colleges), as well as hospitals, research institutes and not-for-profit organizations with a research and/or knowledge mobilization mandate.
