Reforms of open programs and peer review

CIHR is working together with the research community to redesign the Open Suite of Programs and peer review process.

August 1st, 2013

On July 17, 2013, CIHR’s Science Council approved the eligibility criteria for the two Foundation Scheme live pilots. The criteria aim to minimize the impact of the transition on the research community while allowing CIHR to manage application pressure in a competition environment where new program criteria, processes and systems are being piloted.
