Dear all,

For the 2013 December CIHR New Investigator Award competition, the Faculty of Medicine has established the following procedures and timelines:

  1. Your application package must be submitted to the Dean’s Office by Monday, November 25th, 2013 for Faculty approval. You have the option of dropping off a paper copy or emailing it to Bryan Wong at bryan.wong@ubc.ca. See below for a complete list of the required items.
  2. If there are no outstanding issues, your application will be printed (if necessary) and taken to ORS by Thursday, November 28th, 2013.
  3. You will be contacted by ORS once your application is ready for pickup at their UBC Point Grey campus location.

  5. Submit your application online via ResearchNet by 5pm PST on Monday, December 2nd, 2013.

Because this is a salary award, Faculty approval can only be obtained from the Dean’s Office located at the UBC Point Grey campus.

Should you submit your application for Faculty after November 25th, 2013, and there are issues with your application, we cannot guarantee that your application will be ready in time for CIHR’s deadline.
