SPARC Support for CIHR Catalyst Grant: Partnering for Impact

September 3, 2025

SPARC will be providing reviews for the CIHR Catalyst Grant: Partnering for Impact

To receive a SPARC review, please email Flora To-Miles the following (in MS Word format) by 10am on Tuesday, Oct. 14 (submissions sent before this date are also encouraged):

  1. Proposal (5 pages)
  2. Governance plan (1 page)
  3. Summary of research proposal (1 page)
  4. Half-page answering the two questions as part of the Relevance Review form (list your Relevant Research Area, and describe how the research proposed aligns with the selected funding pool/research area)

All reviews will be returned by Friday, Oct. 17. Our goal is to provide full reviews (i.e., detailed editorial and criteria review) for all the documents above; however, depending on service uptake and capacity, we may focus on criteria reviews to ensure everyone who requests a review receives feedback. 

Please note that SPARC provides one review per application of the version submitted. Finally, SPARC does not want to duplicate other existing support (e.g., a local/departmental grant facilitator) on this competition, so please choose your preferred reviewer to work with.

We would like to plan for capacity for this service; if you are interested in this service, please email Flora To-Miles to express your interest as early as possible.
