Funding Applications

Procedures and Deadlines

All funding applications must be signed and approved prior to submission to the funding agency. The process is as follows:

1. Submit your completed grant application or contract along with a FAAF via email for signing to your Department Head (check with your department regarding any departmental deadlines).
2. Submit the FAAF and application to the Faculty of Science at fosfaaf@umanitoba.ca for signing by the Associate Dean (Research) by 4:30PM TWO business days in advance of the ORS deadline.
3. After signing, the Dean’s Office will forward your application directly to ORS where it will be assigned to the appropriate contact. Applications are typically due to ORS by 4:30PM FIVE business days prior to the agency deadline unless otherwise noted in the Upcoming Major Funding Opportunities site or in the ORS Newsletter. Major tri-agency applications (e.g. NSERC Discovery Grants, NSERC RTI, CIHR Project Grants are due TEN business days prior to the agency deadline).

Review & Support
