To address the gap between the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Project Grant proposals and CIHR’s limited available funding envelope, the Office of the Vice-Dean, Research and Health Science Education (RHSE) will provide Pathway Grants for the Fall and Spring Project Grant competitions. This funding program functions as an internal CIHR bridge grant for top-rated Project Grant proposals from on-campus Temerty Faculty of Medicine applicants. There will be up to six grants per Project competition (Spring and Fall) worth $50,000 for 1 year, with the potential for a 1-year no-cost extension. Up to six unfunded proposals, where the PI participated in a peer review panel and scored in the 89.99-75% range will receive Pathway Grants. In instances where there are more than 6 eligible applications that meet this criteria, Pathway grants will be awarded at random.
Terms & Conditions:
To be eligible for a Pathway Grant – you must be enrolled and in good standing with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine's College of Internal Scientific Reviewers at the time of the prior Project Grant competition and submit your application for Internal Peer Review. You must have your grant reviewed in order to be eligible.
A PI can hold no more than two active Pathway Grants at one time.
PIs that submit more than one application in a CIHR Project Grant competition will not be eligible for a Pathway Grant if one of the CIHR applications is selected for funding.
When submitting the CIHR Project Grant via MRA, faculty must opt to hold the grant in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
