Description:

CIFAR is pleased to announce a second Global Call for Ideas, inviting research leaders from around the world to identify important global research challenges that would benefit from CIFAR?s approach to sustained research interactions that include diverse perspectives. Ideas must be novel, bold, and potentially transformative to warrant the creation of a sustained, interdisciplinary, and collaborative research program. Submissions are in two stages, Letter of Intent and Invited Final Proposals.

Stage I requires a Letter of Intent (LOI) from researchers who would be key members of the program. This submission should identify the core elements of the research idea and the range of possible research questions for consideration. CIFAR will shortlist LOIs based on the recommendations from the International Review Body and CIFAR?s Research Council.

Application Details: More details on the CIFAR Global Call for Ideas, including the Criteria for Selection, a detailed timeline and the on-line forms, can be found on the sponsor website.LOIs must be submitted electronically through CIFAR?s online portal. Please choose the Letter of Intent option on your ROLA proposal.
NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
