Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Coalition: Research proposal template

Dear applicant,

Here are a few helpful tips that could assist you with preparing your research proposal:

  • Please be sure to familiarize yourself with all the details contained in the funding opportunity, including the evaluation criteria and the instructions on how to complete your application.
  • The proposal must follow the formatting expected for all CIHR Applications and PDF attachments.
  • You have flexibility to structure your proposal in a variety of ways. The proposal may be submitted in 1) a question and answer format that follows the evaluation criteria (see template on next page as an example), or 2) as a free flowing unstructured document (similar to a typical CIHR proposal) or 3) a combination of the above. It is up to you to decide which approach works best for your proposal. All of the above proposal options will be accepted, provided they follow the formatting expectations for all CIHR Applications and PDF attachments.
  • Each proposal must be uploaded as a PDF that does not exceed 7 pages for proposals written in English and 9 pages in for proposals written in French.
  • While each of the evaluation criteria are equally weighted, you have the flexibility to determine the content distribution (in terms of page count) needed in order to adequately address each of the criteria.

We wish you all the best in your submission preparation,

CIHR
