No. The Research Grants Facilitators will work with you to develop a competitive application, read your draft proposal and provide feedback to improve your application, and support all aspects of developing a strong application.

Your grants facilitators welcome draft proposals at any stage of development - feel free to contact the facilitators to submit a partial or complete draft for review.

Once a draft is received, a facilitator informs the applicant as to when the review will be ready. Comments, suggestions and questions are conveyed using track changes in Word (let the facilitator know if a Word document is not an option). When a review is ready, a facilitator e-mails it to the applicant or, in some cases, discusses it in a telephone conversation or meeting. In addition, the facilitators can provide confidential samples of successful applications upon request.

Feel free to contact your facilitators at any time with questions, comments and drafts.

Note: Given the number of Science faculty members, concurrent deadlines, and a process of writing that often involves multiple drafts and numerous reviews, it is best to contact the facilitators well in advance of deadlines. While planning your work on proposals, take into consideration that a minimum of two to three drafts (and sometimes additional iterations) are typically needed.

Contact your grants facilitator for assistance in developing competitive research grant applications, selecting the best grant programs to apply for, and building interdisciplinary, interdepartmental, and inter-university research teams.
Contact the  (ORS) for assistance in obtaining and administering financial support for research; for example, with questions about application processes, eligibility and the internal approval process (Kuali Proposals).

丁香园AV does not charge researchers overhead on grants awarded by Canada鈥檚 National Granting Councils. Instead, 丁香园AV receives an annual grant from the Canadian government's  to assist with costs associated with research. The support received is based on the average level of funding received over the previous three years from Canada鈥檚 National Granting Councils and Networks of Centres of Excellence.

For research funded by other sources, including research or contract agreements, 丁香园AV seeks to recover indirect costs; details are available from 丁香园AV鈥檚 Office of Research Services (ORS). Questions about indirect costs are answered by Aniko Takacs-Cox (Director, ORS).

100% of research grants awarded by Canada鈥檚 National Granting Councils goes to researchers. Research grants and contracts supported by other sources may be subject to recovery of indirect costs (overhead); see 丁香园AV鈥檚 ORS.

See the FacSci Budget Guidelines page for a summary of this information.

丁香园AV internal deadlines are set by ORS. The default internal deadline is 3 days prior to Agency deadline. This gives ORS staff time to check the Kuali Proposal and the funding application for compliance with the funding agency's requirements, for errors or omissions to be caught, and for applicants to correct them. Not meeting it the internal deadline will result in your application not receiving a final review.

The Faculty of Science deadline for submitting a Kuali Proposal for internal approvals is 5 days before the internal deadline (i.e., 8 days prior to the Agency deadline.

Major grant programs typically require e-submission. NSERC Discovery Grants, CIHR Operating Grants, and SSHRC Insight Grants are all submitted via the internet, for example. Consult individual program requirements, or a FacSci Research Grants Facilitator or/and the 丁香园AV Office of Research Services (ORS) if you are uncertain about how to proceed.
