In our continuing effort to improve the presentation of funding related content on the web site, CIHR has introduced a database to search and browse for current funding opportunities. (Read the News Release about CIHR's Funding Opportunity Database).
The Funding Opportunity Database allows anyone to search for and display information on CIHR's current and or recently archived opportunities based on the selection or search criteria entered.
Note: Only recently archived opportunities are in the database. For older archived opportunities, consult CIHR's Archived Funding Opportunities section.
The main page offers four options displayed in a tabular format located on the top right hand of the page. The four tab options include:
Click on any tab of your choice to display each activity individually on the screen. The tab that is currently selected and displayed will appear in blue.
To search for funding opportunities, identify the search criteria in one or more of the fields below. All fields are optional. Leaving all fields blank will generate a list of all funding opportunities. Multiple field selections will narrow your search resulting in fewer opportunities.
Note: The drop down lists for Institute, Program Type and Target Applicant only shows the values when an opportunity for that option exists. As such, if you fail to see a value described below (for example, the "Target Applicant" value of "Doctoral Students") it just means that CIHR has no current funding opportunities that meet this value.
Below is a complete list of the fields and their descriptions to help with your search criteria:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Search | To search for certain words, type them into the search term(s) and specify if you want to search for all words or for any of the words. This will search all of the text within the funding opportunities. |
| CIHR Institute ** | Search for opportunities based on who at CIHR is sponsoring the funding opportunity. These values include all of CIHR's 13 Institutes as well as the various Portfolios and Initiatives at CIHR that provide funding to the research community. |
| Program Type | Search for opportunities within a certain type of funding program. Some examples of funding program types are:
|
| Target Applicant | Search for opportunities geared towards a specific type of applicant. Note that only those target applicant values for which there are available opportunities will be displayed. The current list of options include:
|
| Deadline Date | Search for opportunities by their application deadline date. Enter the month and the year. |
| Launch Date | Search for opportunities by the date the opportunity was announced on CIHR's web site. Enter the month and the year.CIHR's funding opportunities are primarily announced in June or December. |
| Include Archived Opportunities | Select this option if you would like to have your search results include CIHR's recently archived funding opportunities. For older archived opportunities, consult CIHR's Archived Funding Opportunities. |
Click the "Search" button when all of your search criteria are entered to generate results. The "Clear" button will clear anything previously entered by the user. When the search is executed the Search Results page appears.
