CIHR Partnership Award Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the CIHR Partnership Award, a partnership must:

• have a connection to CIHR

  Example: CIHR funded researchers are involved in the partnership, CIHR Institute Advisory Board members are involved in the partnership, or the new partnership is a result of previous networking activities with CIHR.

• be formalized by a partnership agreement or similar document
• have had a positive impact on the health of Canadians
• be a partnership – the actual projects funded are not eligible

In addition, please note the following:

• Self-nominations will be accepted.
• If a nominated partnership includes CIHR, only the non-CIHR partners will be recognized for the purposes of this award.
• For-profit organizations and federal government departments or agencies may be nominated but cannot receive the monetary grant associated with the award.
• Partnerships are not defined solely on financial grounds. They may include collaborations sharing intellectual, monetary or in-kind resources among organizations.
• Nominations, particularly of regional and international partnerships, must clearly reference how the partnership has had an impact on the health of all Canadians.
