The Office of the Vice Dean, Research, Innovation and Health Science Education (RIHSE) offers numerous resources and supports to help you secure grants and research funding.
Grant Editing Services
RIHSE offers a complimentary grant editing service to on-campus Temerty Faculty of Medicine principal investigators. Our typical turn-around time is approximately one week.
We prioritize CIHR, CFI, and CRC grants for editorial review, but will review all grant proposals to any funding agency or foundation on an ad hoc basis, time permitting. Where applicable, if faculty are requesting editorial review of a previously unsuccessful application, we encourage faculty to submit the previous round of reviews to us in addition to the grant. Hospital-based off-campus investigators are charged a fee of $70.00/page + HST, if applicable, and should complete the off-campus request form.
During peak periods, and particularly for CIHR Project Grant rounds, proposals submitted by on-campus researchers will be prioritized for editorial support.
Support for all grant proposals, to any funding agency, from single-investigator to major multi-researcher pan-institutional applications
Ensuring applications clearly demonstrate the impactof your research
Re-organizing for effective content and structure
Clarifying meaning, polishing language and improving readability
Correcting grammar, usage, spelling and punctuation
Ensuring your proposal adheres to agency formatting guidelines
Please note that we are unable to review manuscripts, verify budgets, edit references or edit/format CVs. We recognize that generative AI can be a valuable tool for researchers for grant preparation. However, the role of the service is not to humanize AI-generated text. Raw, unedited output from LLMs will not be accepted for editorial review. We also encourage faculty to consult current tri-agency guidelines surrounding the use of AI-generated text.
We also provide slides from previous Grant Writing Workshops:
