SPONSOR ASSESSMENTS
Three sponsor assessment forms must be completed by people under whom the candidate has trained and who have a good opportunity to assess the candidate’s potential for research. The completed forms must be submitted to ResearchNet by the sponsors by the application deadline. For Postdoctoral fellowships and Doctoral Student Research Award candidates, one sponsor assessment form must be from the Primary Supervisor.
COMMON CV
The new Canadian Common CV system has been released by CIHR and can be found here. Applicants must use the CDA Common CV templates under the funding organization Canadian Diabetes Association-ResearchNet:
- CDA Academic Common CV (CDA_Academic_2012_1) must be completed when the full application is submitted.
Applicants will receive a confirmation number when they submit their CDA Common CV to CDA. Applicants will be required to enter this confirmation number in the application in ResearchNet.
Contribution information: CDA recognizes that inputting contribution data into the new CV matrix can be time consuming. For the 2013 competition, applicants may complete the Contributions section of the Common CV either by entering data in the CV or by uploading attachments to the Common CV task in ResearchNet. Please note that page limits still apply when uploading the Contribution attachments.
Official Transcripts: Only Doctoral Student Research Award applications require original transcripts (or authorized photocopy) for each post-secondary institution attended (this includes all undergraduate and graduate studies, and any studies that may be ongoing).
