Information Session for Project Scheme Fall 2016 Competition
Dear CIHR community members,
As you may be aware from the different announcements released by CIHR last week, the fall competitions for both the Foundation Scheme and the Project Scheme have yet to be launched.
Following the announcement by the Minister of Health, Jane Philpott,听 CIHR has organized an urgent working meeting with key representatives of the research community to discuss solutions to the issues raised about the reformed open programs and particularly about the quality and integrity of the new on-line peer review system. 听Additional details about this working meeting to be held tomorrow July 13th can be found here.听It remains unknown at this time if and when any changes to the reformed Open Programs听will be implemented but we expect that both the Foundation Scheme and Project Scheme competitions will be launched shortly.听
Despite the uncertainty at this time, the Office of Sponsored Research plans on giving an information session for both the Project Scheme Competition as described below:
