Update on the Canadian Common CV (CCV) and impact on competition deadlines

We have been informed by the CCV Secretariat that the  is now operational.

CIHR will maintain previously communicated deadline extensions for the submission of registrations/applications to January 25, 2016 for the following funding opportunities:

• Knowledge Synthesis Grant: Prescription Drug Abuse
• Training Grant: Indigenous Mentorship Network Program (Letter of intent)
• Knowledge Synthesis Grant: Fall 2015
• Project Scheme: 2016 1^st Live Pilot (Registration)
• Other: Joint Canada-Israel Health Research Program (Registration)
• Other: CIHR-IPPH Trailblazer Award in Population Health Solutions
• Other: Travel Awards – Institute Community Support (Winter 2016)
•  Undergraduate: Summer Studentship Award – ICS (2016)

Please also note that:

• The full application for the Project Scheme: 2016 1st Live Pilot will be available in ResearchNet the day after the registration has closed.
• At this time, the application deadline for the Project Scheme: 2016 1^st Live Pilot remains March 1, 2016. CIHR recognizes that applicants will have less time to complete their application in ResearchNet. However, this decision balances this risk with the current competition timelines and the need to give reviewers the required time to produce high-quality reviews.
• Since applications to the Planning and Dissemination Grants competition do not require completion of a CCV, the deadline remains January 20, 2016.
• The Institutes Advisory Boards recruitment deadline has been extended until February 10, 2016.

CIHR continues to monitor the situation closely. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused and thank you for your continued patience.
