Earlier this year, Canada鈥檚 three federal research granting agencies, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), announced a harmonized approach to funding eligibility that aligns more clearly with the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments (PTP), with regard to the eligibility and funding of research projects or programs submitted by applicants who are employed by the federal government.

Each agency is implementing this policy in their own programs, funding opportunities, and competitions.

This message is a reminder that federal employees applying for tri-agency funding should consult the following resources before beginning their applications:

• CIHR鈥檚 webpage:
• Tri-agency update:

Institutions should review all applications for alignment with the policy before submission to CIHR, where the Nominated Principal Applicant is a federal employee. If the applicant鈥檚 proposed research falls within their federal employer鈥檚 mandate (i.e., the Department or Agency conducts health research) and is to be carried out using federal facilities or resources, the budget must request funding only for support of students or postdoctoral researchers (salaries or stipends and travel costs). We request also that officials at Federal Department and Agencies communicate these requirements to all employees who conduct health research.
