Review Process and Evaluation
Relevance Review
CIHR and partner organizations will provide funding for applications that are relevant to (in alignment with) the objectives and research priority areas described under "CIHR Research Priority Areas" within the Objectives section.
Prior to review, a committee consisting of Institute/Branch staff and Partners, as required will have access to, upon consent of the applicant, full applications and nominative information to conduct relevance review. Such consent is a requirement to be eligible for funding.
Applications that are not deemed to be relevant will be withdrawn from the competition.
The following criteria will be used in conducting the relevance review:
- Alignment of the objectives of the proposed activity with the specific objectives of the CIHR Institute, Initiative, or Branch offering funding through the Dissemination Events program
Funding Decision
Upon completion of the review, the institute/branch and partners will receive the ranking list, ratings and recommendations on funding level for the applications that fall in the fundable range and have been determined to be relevant to the specific research areas and objectives of the initiative. The list will be used for funding decision-making purposes and will remain anonymous unless applicants have provided written consent to share nominative information.
Unless otherwise stated, the applications relevant to the specific research focuses will be funded from the top down as far as the budgets will allow. The remaining applications will be funded by the general pool of funds from the top down as far as budgets will allow.
Applications that receive a ranking below 3.5 will not be funded.
Peer review committees will not be informed of applications submitted for funding through this announcement.
For Peer Review and Evlauation Criteria please refer to the Meetings, Planning and Dissemination Grant: Planning Grants (Spring 2010 Competition) funding opportunity.
