Task Tips

These Task Tips are not a comprehensive list of information required to ensure completeness. You should also read the Funding Opportunity Details and should also be familiar with CIHR funding policies.

The following instructions are CHRP specific. If there is a discrepancy between these instructions and those found on ResearchNet, please use these instructions to determine what is required.

Task 1: Identify Participants

This task collects information on all participants involved in your research application and the institution or organization that will receive funds if your application is successful. Consult the Individual Eligibility Requirements on the CIHR website for more information. The name of the Nominated Principal Applicant and Principal Applicant(s) must remain unchanged between the letter of intent and application. However, additional Principal Applicants, Co-applicants, Collaborators, and Knowledge Users (if applicable) may be identified.

New: Applicants will enter their Common CV (CCV) Confirmation number in ResearchNet as opposed to uploading a CCV .pdf file. This process is described below.

A CV is required for all participants, with the exception of collaborators.

The Nominated Principal Applicant, Other Principal Applicant(s) and Co-Applicants (if applicable) are required to include an Academic Common CV (CCV). CVs cannot be included for collaborators.

In order to attach a CV for the representative(s) from the Knowledge/Technology User organization(s), these individuals must be identified within the Identify Participants task as a Knowledge User and include a Knowledge User CCV. Personal CVs will not be accepted.

CIHR applicants will choose an Academic CV template (replaces Full Application CV) or a Knowledge User CV template, depending on their roles. See the "Eligibility" and the "How to Apply" sections of this funding opportunity to determine the CV requirements for each participant.

To produce an Academic CV, or a Knowledge User CV, please follow the instructions described below:

  1. Log in to the Common CV (CCV) system, then go to the CV menu on the top left of the page, and select "Funding".
  2. In the Funding Source field, select "CIHR" from the dropdown and click next. Select the appropriate CV type (i.e. Academic or Knowledge User), and click next.
  3. Enter data in each of the required sections, and click "Done" when finished each section. Validation is performed automatically, and if there are any errors, they will be displayed in each section. The validation rules follow the requirements set specifically by CIHR.
  4. The CV data entered in CCV can be viewed in PDF format by selecting "Preview". Read through the document to identify any changes that need to be made in CCV before submitting the CV to CIHR.
  5. Once satisfied with the information and output of the CV, click "Submit". A CCV confirmation number will be generated in the status message, and will also be located at the top of the CV PDF document. Record this confirmation number as it will be needed to link the CV to any research applications in ResearchNet.
  6. Return to ResearchNet and enter the CCV confirmation number under the "Identify Participants Task" (click "Edit" under the participant in question and input the CCV Confirmation Number where requested).
  7. If you wish to make changes to your Common CV after it has been linked to an application, you must repeat the steps described above. After the desired changes are made on the CCV website, the new CV will need to be submitted to CIHR, and this will generate a new CCV confirmation number, which will need to be updated in ResearchNet.

Please note that you can preview your CCV in ResearchNet by clicking on "Preview Registration Materials" on the Tasks page.

Note: During peak periods, there can be a delay between the time that you submit the CV and when ResearchNet is able to validate it. It is highly recommended that you submit your CV well in advance of the competition deadline. 

Subtask: Attachments 

All attachments must adhere to the guidelines for attachments on the Acceptable Application Formats and Attachments. Before preparing your proposal, please carefully review these instructions.

      Note: The review committee reads these letters carefully to assess the degree of commitment of the knowledge/technology user applicant(s). Knowledge/technology users are advised to personally write their letters, rather than sign a template letter.

    • Partner Profile (if applicable)

      When the knowledge/technology users are private sector organizations, provide a concise profile of each organization (not more than 1/2 page), including the nature of its operations (including production, manufacturing, provision of services, commercial activities, etc.) in Canada and its existing or planned capacity to use project results in the Canadian based operations. Please note that reference to the company's Web site is not acceptable in lieu of the 1/2 page company profile.

    • Partner Justification for non-Canadian Partners (if applicable)

      Private sector organizations must have the capacity to apply the research results in a way that generates wealth or economic activity in Canada. Under very exceptional circumstances, non-Canadian based private sector organizations that can demonstrate firm commitments to create the previously described economic benefits to Canada will be considered and must be appropriately justified (1 page maximum).

    • Statement of Ownership (if applicable)

      If an applicant or co-applicant has ownership in a sponsoring company, include a statement that demonstrates how the relationship complies with the NSERC guidelines for researcher-owned companies.

    Further instructions regarding Form 183A are available on NSERC's web site.

  • Intellectual property agreement (if applicable):

    Include a copy of the research or intellectual property agreement that exists between the academic institution and any supporting organizations (see the NSERC Policy on Intellectual Property in the Program Guide for Professors). An application will be accepted even if a signed copy of the intellectual property agreement between the supporting organizations and the academic institution is not available at the time of submission (the agreement can be sent as a follow-up). Such agreements are considered confidential and are not made available to peer reviewers.

  • You may also attach:
    • Letters from Collaborators who are expected to make a significant contribution, confirming their willingness to participate in the manner indicated.
    • Letters in general support for the research, the researcher or the research team should not be appended and may be removed.
    • Questionnaires and consent forms, if applicable.

Ensure that each distinct document is attached as a separate PDF file.

Task 6: Download Supplemental Application Information

Under the Supplemental Application Information task, you must download, complete and upload the "Activity schedule" table. In this table, list the activities/steps required to achieve the objectives for each year of the grant. Indicate the start and end dates for the activities leading to the milestones, as well as the major results expected.

The milestone definition and the work plan will be used to assess whether a program is feasible and whether the available resources are adequate to complete it on schedule.

Task 7: Identify Application Partners

Complete the "Partnership Details" information on ResearchNet for your Knowledge/Technology User organization(s). The amounts listed must match the "Other funding sources" contribution entered in the Budget Details screens. Upload the form(s) as the "Partnership Details" document type. No signature is required on the Partnership Details form since each Knowledge/Technology User organization will be signing Form 183A.

Task 8: Peer Review Administration

This task collects information used for the purpose of peer review administration.

Suggested External Reviewers

Suggest Canadian and/or foreign reviewers that you feel have the expertise to review your application. CIHR reserves the right to make the final selection of external reviewers. You should not suggest reviewers in conflict of interest. Consult the Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Policy of the Federal Research Funding Organizations for more information.

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the CHRP program, the use of external reviews forms an important part of the CHRP adjudication process. Applicants are therefore encouraged to provide as many suggestions for external reviewers as possible. If you have not provided a minimum of eight external reviewers at the LOI stage, please provide suggestions. If you have provided this information you may still add additional suggestions.

Reviewers to Exclude

Provide the names of individuals that you feel cannot provide an objective review of your application.

Future Committee Member Nominations

Nominate individuals that you feel would be appropriate as reviewers for a particular peer review committee.

Task 9: Print/Upload Signature Pages

This Funding Opportunity participates in the eApproval process. This means that when the applicant submits their application, it will be electronically directed to the Research Institution for review and 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 reviewed and approved by the Research Institution, they will submit the applications electronically to CIHR on behalf of the applicant. When completing the application on ResearchNet, detailed instructions on the eApproval process are available in the "Electronic Approval tool for Research Institutions - Applicant's Guide" under the Project Details task.

  1. Print the signature page PDF file which is found on ResearchNet.
  2. Obtain all required signatures.
  3. Scan and upload the signed signature pages in the Print/Upload Signature Pages task in ResearchNet prior to submitting your application.
  4. All necessary signatures must be obtained and uploaded on ResearchNet prior to the Research Institution's deadline date. You must submit your signature pages to the Research Office so that the Institution can approve and submit the application to CIHR through ResearchNet.
  5. When the Research Office electronically approves and forwards your application to CIHR, they are, in fact, confirming that all required signatures have been obtained.

Task 10: Preview Application Materials

Review all components of your application. If a task is incomplete, you must provide the missing information to successfully submit your application.

Task 11: Consent and Submit Application

Submit Application

You must review the terms listed and respond to the questions regarding consent in order to submit your application.

You must click Submit to send your application to CIHR.

t is highly recommended that you submit your application well ahead of the CIHR deadline. If your research office returns the application to you with comments or questions and you cannot address these before the CIHR competition deadline, your application will not be accepted by CIHR. Many institutions have internal deadlines for receipt of applications ahead of the CIHR deadlines, please confirm with your institution.

Since January 3, 2011 the CIHR deadline time for receipt of all applications is 20:00 ET.
