Pathway Grants

To address the gap between the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Project Grant proposals and CIHR’s limited available funding envelope, the Office of the Vice-Dean, Research and Health Science Education (RHSE) will provide Pathway Grants for the Fall and Spring Project Grant competitions. This funding program functions as an internal CIHR bridge grant for top-rated Project Grant proposals from on-campus Temerty Faculty of Medicine applicants. There will be up to six grants per Project competition (Spring and Fall) worth $50,000 for 1 year, with the potential for a 1-year no-cost extension. The top six unfunded proposals, by percentile rank within review committee, will receive Pathway Grants.
