Tri-Agency CV

The Tri-Agency CV is a narrative style CV that will replace the CCV.听 The will continue to be piloted in select competitions in Spring 2025.听 CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC are meeting to review and incorporate feedback from applicants, reviewers, chairs and SOs. The TCV will NOT be used in Spring 2025 CIHR Projects Grants.

Budget Update 2024

Beginning in 2024-2025, the federal budget 2024 provided $1.8 billion over five years to the federal granting councils to support existing core research programs. It also designated an extra $748 million annually in the years to follow.听 Of the $1.8 billion investment, CIHR will receive $540.3 million over five years (2024-25 to 2028-29), with $229.2 million per year ongoing, will be provided to CIHR.

CIHR knows that the community鈥檚 biggest priority is ensuring stable funding for investigator-initiated research, and these new funds will help strengthen the Project Grant program. CIHR鈥檚 intention is that this additional funding will allow us to both increase the number of grants supported through the Project Grant program and increase the average budget size for Project grants. In doing so, CIHR will provide for the new, higher rates to pay trainees a living wage, in line with the increased award values of tri-agency scholarships and fellowships.
