Academic Unit: Inquire with unit
Memorial Deadline: RIS Review not required
External Deadline: Thursday 1st, October 2026
Description
Academic Units with both an Associate Dean of Research (ADR) and a unit Grants Facilitation Officer (GFO) are assuming the responsibility for institutional review and electronic submission of applications for the CIHR Project, SSHRC Insight, SSHRC Insight Development, and NSERC Discovery and RTI Grants competitions. Research Initiatives & Services will no longer be completing the electronic submission for these grants in units with both an ADR and GFO. For units without both an ADR and GFO, Research Initiatives & Services will review and approve applications following the same process as other Tri-Agency programs. If you are intending on applying to any of these competitions, please contact your Grants Facilitation Officer, Associate Dean (Research) or Research Initiatives & Services to obtain information on deadlines and processes for institutional review and electronic submission for your unit.
The Subatomic Physics Major Resources Support (SAP-MRS) program provides funding assistance for major and unique national and international research resources based in Canada to remain in a state of readiness for access by Canadian subatomic physics researchers. The program also enables Canadian researchers to come together as national user consortia to access a necessary major international resource located outside Canada.
To apply to the SAP-MRS program, one person must be designated to administer the grant. This person is the “applicant” and is responsible for completing and submitting the notification of intent to apply (NOI) and the full application on behalf of the group.
The NOI is a mandatory step in the application process. If you have not submitted the NOI, you cannot create or submit an application.
