4 Zero Tolerance Since September 2008, CIHR has implemented a zero tolerance policy regarding application submissions: Zero Tolerance ---incomplete application can mean anything from not formatted correctly or not included as per the instructions and per CIHR policies ---eligibility of applicant ---missing info/sig pages ---file formatting ---page limitations

7 POLICY Changes: Equipment-definition; not funded through Operating Grants http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/39922.html Acceptable Attachment Format -dictates format of ALL uploaded pdf documents http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/29300.html Research Outputs Policy ---eligible budget cost item! http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/32005.html Open access via Pub Med Canada McMaster repository http://www.cihr.ca/e/40685.htmlhttp://www.cihr.ca/e/40685.html Neera Bhatnagar, Reference Librarian bhatnag@mcmaster.ca Grad Pay rates (NEW!) ---no longer max/min amounts for graduate student pay rates CIHR UPDATES-Policy Changes

8 Equipment (or Materials and Supplies?) “Definition of Equipment” http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/39922.html Effective August 1, 2009. "Research Equipment: Any item (or interrelated collection of items comprising a system) of nonexpendable tangible property, having a useful life of more than 1 year and a cost of $2,000 or more, which is used wholly or in part for research.“ ALL 3 conditions must be met for an item to be considered equipment: -nonexpendable tangible property; and, -useful life of more than 1 year; and, -a cost of $2,000 or more. To be considered Materials or Supplies an item must meet only 1 of the following: -expendable tangible property; or, -useful life of 1 year or less; or, -a cost of less than $2,000. For example, a laptop computer that costs less than $2,000 would be considered as materials or supplies even though it is a nonexpendable tangible item with a useful life of more than one year. “Definition of Equipment” http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/39922.html Effective August 1, 2009.
