CIHR Regional Partnership Program

The Regional Partnership Program (RPP) supports applications that are judged to be of high scientific merit through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) peer review scoring of 3.5 and above, but are beyond the funding capacity of the CIHR’s base budget in their regular competitions. At this time, the only funding tool eligible under this program is CIHR’s bi-annual “Operating Grant”. Application information is available on CIHR’s website.

Our specific RPP requirements are here. Our deadline for the next intake of applications is five (5) days after CIHR's deadline. The last intake under the RPP will be March 2013. The CIHR deadline is March 1, 2013. Applicants must electronically submit the required documents to us by March 8, 2013 11:59 p.m. (AST).

We encourage you to use your institution's file transfer site as the required documents can be very large in size. Please check with your institution for the site.
