Update on Pilot Project for Tri agency CV

The will continue to be piloted in select competitions in Spring 2025. In fall 2024, several programs tested the new narrative Tri agency CV that will replace the CCV in future.听

The pilots aimed to evaluate the new template documents, their efficiency, data impacts, and gather feedback from applicants and reviewers. The pilots considered the needs and impacts on applicants, reviewers, staff, and systems. Feedback from applicants highlighted that the new template allowed for tailored, inclusive narratives, but was time-consuming and lacked clear instructions. Reviewers found the template easier to read and more relevant but noted challenges with the open-ended format and nonstandard presentation. Overall, the survey indicated mixed readiness for change among applicants and reviewers and the need for improved instructions and support materials. The transition to the new CV format will be gradual.

Update on Project Grants Competition Fall 2024

An additional $86 million was added to CIHR budget in the 2024 budget. The total investment in CIHR will remain stable to $411 million per competition. For Fall 2024, the funding increase led to a higher success rate of 17.2%, with 446 projects funded out of 2631 applications. The average grant size increased to ~$900,000 (after cross the board cuts of 23.5%), with $39 million allocated for equalization across various identity dimensions. The Indigenous Health Research (IHR) panel received 4.6% of the budget. The success rate for women was 18.2%, and for men, it was 16.6%.
