The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), and the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) (‘the agencies’) are pleased to unveil the Guidance on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Development and Review of Research Proposals.
In November 2023, the agencies established a panel of external experts to provide advice on the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the development and review of research proposals submitted for grant applications.
Intended for researchers in Canada and Canadian post-secondary institutions, the guidance, developed by the agencies, draws heavily on the advice from the panel and on feedback from the research community received during a public consultation period that closed in June 2024.
The agencies wish to thank the members of the panel of external experts and the research community for their valuable contributions.
