CIHR/Manitoba Regional
Partnership Program

Under the CIHR/Manitoba Regional Partnerships Program, research funding and personnel support applications that are judged to be of high scientific merit through peer review, but are below the funding capacity of CIHR's base budget in CIHR regular competitions, are eligible to receive funding if there is a partner to co-fund the proposal.

Recipients of operating grants, studentship, fellowship and New Investigator Awards in the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Regional Partnerships Program (CIHR-RPP), who have received a CIHR rating of 3.5 or above, are eligible for consideration for matching funds provided by the Province through the Manitoba Health Research Council.

In order to be eligible for RPP funding, applicants must register their application with the Manitoba Health Research Council, 2 weeks prior to the CIHR application deadline (or within one week after the CIHR registration deadline for New Investigator Awards). The application will be pre-screened for RPP eligibility and eligible applicants will receive feedback from the Manitoba Committee confirming their eligibility to receive RPP funds.
