In some instances, the hyperlink to the "Sponsor Evaluation Form" was corrupted when the email request to sponsors entered their institution's email network. Sponsors unable to connect to the evaluation form should contact ResearchNet.RechercheNetSupport@cihr-irsc.gc.ca for the corrected link to complete their evaluation.

In addition, the Common CV service has been experiencing some slowness and occasional access errors. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
