1) Program related information

 

a)  Congratulations to the 2016 Foundation Grant and Project Grant recipients

 

Congratulations to the grant recipients for both the Foundation and Project competitions and many thanks to the 2,000+ peer reviewers who made these competitions possible.

 

The 611 grantees of these two competitions will receive a total of approximately $667 million in funding, spanning over one to seven years. With this investment, CIHR maintains the total number of 2,600 nominated principal investigators supported through its Investigator-Initiated Research Program.

 

Project Grant competition: A total of 491 research projects are being supported, in addition to 127 one-year bridge grants. This represents a total investment of over $375 million.

 

Foundation Grant competition: A total of 120 Foundation Grant recipients have been awarded nearly $292 million in funding, over five or seven years.

 

Applicants of both competitions are being notified of the results today.

b) CIHR and the research community agree on concrete solutions to strengthen peer-review process

 

CIHR and members of Canada’s health research community arrived at a consensus on concrete solutions that CIHR will implement over the coming months to further strengthen the peer review process. At the July 13 meeting, the group agreed to the immediate implementation of the following:

 

* Face-to-face discussions will be restored and virtual discussions will no longer be needed;

 

* Teams of Virtual Chairs and Scientific Officers will be organized to oversee a group of applications throughout the process;

 

* A complementary iterative process will be implemented for Indigenous-focused research;

 

* A working group will be created to further refine the recommendations moving forward.

 

Please note that the changes will be implemented before the launch of the next Project and Foundation competitions. We will share additional details about these funding opportunities—including target dates—as soon as they are available.

 

Thank you, as always, to the research community for your dedication to improving the health of Canadians. Life-changing health research cannot happen without you.
