Application process

Applications are completed online and submitted electronically to the agencies. Applications are available only in French, with some agencies providing PDF formats in English. As the translations do not always precisely follow the French format, please contact Michele Kaplan or Lauren Segall if using the English versions to ensure that instructions/formatting/page limits are being followed correctly.

The title and abstract must be provided in French, while other components of the application can be provided in English. One hard copy of the application, along with the Grant Submission Form, must be submitted to the OOR by their deadline. Researchers must register online to obtain a personal identification number (NIP) in order to access application forms.

Researchers must also provide the original copy of their doctoral degree certificate, as well as two photocopies, to the OOR for certification. A receipt will be given, and the certificate can be picked up within 48 hours.

Deadlines

There are always two deadlines for each application submitted to a granting agency: the internal deadline set by the Office of Research (OOR), and the granting agency’s deadline, which takes place two weeks after the internal deadline.

Michele and Lauren will e-mail researchers with agency and OOR deadlines as they are confirmed by the agencies. Please also refer to sections in the OOR website for each agency in order to view their deadlines.

Submitting an application to the OOR in the two week period prior to the agency’s deadlines allows for the administrative review to be conducted, as well as for Michele and Lauren to continue conducting qualitative reviews.
