Open operating grant competition (September)

• 2333 applications received (up from March 2012). CIHR is expected to fund 400.

Common CV

• Available on the CIHR CCV help site is a which will provide assistance to reviewers; also running webinars.
• Ability for the PI to view the final version of their CV or the CVs of co-applicants at the grant submission stage is still an issue and this concern has been transmitted to the team working on it.
• CIHR is very aware that this was a nightmare for all and that it reflected very badly on them.

CIHR Reforms

• The next version of the design plan will be available widely in December 2012.
• Anticipated changes compared to the earlier version include:
  • Program style application: process still three-stage with two levels of 鈥渢riage鈥� and final stage is a face-to-face.
  • Project style application: process will be a two-stage, where the idea and the track record of the PI, as well as feasibility, will be evaluated at stage 1 where the major triage will occur with a face-to-face at stage 2. This is a change that is the result of all the feedback that they have received.
  • Evaluations at the face-to-face meetings will focus on those applications that fall in the grey zone, i.e. they won鈥檛 invest time on the triaged or truly exceptional applications.
• Given their experience with the CCV, they will ensure that the IT platforms used will be really robust prior to roll out.
• Earliest date now for a full roll out is anticipated for March 2014. They will likely pilot a component in the September 2013 OOGC.
