Application and funding policies

CIHR funding policy updates
CIHR would like to announce the following funding policy updates:

1) Nominated Principal Applicant eligibility

The current stipulation that requires a Nominated Principal Applicant (NPA) living abroad to physically spend 6 months per year in Canada, for the duration of their grant, has been revised. Effective immediately, the new stipulation is as follows:

A Nominated Principal Applicant living abroad (trainees excepted) must have their substantive role in Canada for the duration of the grant. Substantive role generally refers to the individual鈥檚 primary place of employment or primary appointment.

This new requirement shares the same aim as the previous stipulation: to ensure that Agency funds benefit Canadian-based research. The new requirement is more responsive to those who carry out their research abroad, however, and is easier for administrators to monitor. This change is reflected in the (section 1-D1.1 Nominated Principal Applicant).

2) Independent Researcher definition

CIHR has updated its definition of Independent Researcher, as indicated below. These updates allow CIHR to be more inclusive of Independent Researchers who work at research organizations that are outside of academia (e.g. NGOs, research hospitals, research institutes) and are therefore not necessarily in positions that involve the supervision of students. The amended definition聽is found in the .

Researcher (Independent)聽refers to an individual who is:
路 autonomous regarding their research activities; and
路 has an academic or a research appointment which:

o聽聽 must commence by the effective date of funding; and
o聽聽 allows the individual to pursue the proposed research project, to engage in independent research activities for the entire duration of the funding, to supervise trainees (if applicable, as per their institution鈥檚 policy), and to publish the research results; and
o聽聽 obliges the individual to conform to institutional regulations concerning the conduct of research, the supervision of trainees (if applicable), and the employment conditions of staff paid with CIHR funding.
