Applications to the One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research Network competition are due on Tuesday, June 16. This competition will provide one $5.6M grant over 5 years to establish a national, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral network that advance One Health AMR research, research capacity, knowledge mobilization, and policy linkages in Canada.
SPARC is offering the following resources and services to support UBC-led applications to this competition:
- Guidance on drafting a TCV and templates for most required attachments are available through the SPARC website under CIHR Resources → CIHR Operating, Team and Large Network, and Other Grants (CWL login required).
- UBC Research Data Management offers a custom pre‑funding Data Management Plan (DMP) template through the DMP Assistant that you can use to draft your DMP. Applicants are reminded that their DMP must follow CIHR formatting requirements.
- 1:1 consultations to provide guidance on tailoring your application to this funding opportunity, including a discussion of the required Sustainability Plan, which is a new CIHR attachment.
