Electronic Approval Process - New Grant Programs

(2011-06-23) In addition to CIHR’s Open Operating Grants program, five additional CIHR grant programs have been added to the Electronic Approval process. These programs are:

• Randomized Controlled Trials: Mentoring
• Proof of Principle Program - Phase I
• Proof of Principle Program - Phase II
• Partnerships for Health System Improvement (PHSI)
• Knowledge Synthesis Grant

This means that for these programs, all applications will be electronically directed to the Research Institution for approval. The eApproval process allows Administrators at a Research Institution to review and electronically approve applications for which the applicant has identified their institution as the Institution Paid. Once the applications are approved, the Research Institution will be submitting the applications electronically to CIHR on behalf of the applicant.
