Description
Established in 2000, the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program offers eligible Canadian degree-granting institutions the opportunity to nominate a diverse cadre of outstanding researchers for professorships in areas that will further an institution’s strategic research plan, enabling them to maximize their contributions as centres of research and research training. The CRC Program allocates its Chair positions to eligible institutions via a national reallocation process with eligible institutions receiving a set number of Chair allocations based on the eligible research grant funding received by their researchers from the three federal research granting agencies – the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Institutions will submit Chair nominations to one of the Program’s two annual deadlines – April and October – for peer review. Successful applications will see positions taken up by individual Chairholders on a full-time basis.
CRCP Policy and Procedures
Memorial’s CRC program is managed in accordance with the institution’s CRC policy (Reallocation, Renewal and Reduction of Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) at Memorial University), which is currently under review. Once the revised policy and procedure documents have been approved, they will take precedence over any discrepancies found within this Call for Proposals.
Deadline
All proposals are to be submitted via email to RIS (ris@mun.ca), and must be received by 4:30 pm on September 15, 2025. All applicants will normally be notified via email of the results within 4 -5 weeks of the internal deadline.
