answers to their most pressing questions.
•A funding program founded on partnerships, every PHSI
project involves collaboration between decision makers and
researchers interested in working together to address health
system challenges.
•Any applied health services and policy research topic can
be addressed so long as it responds to the information needs
of the participating decision makers.

Integrated Knowledge Translation
Knowledge translation at CIHR: Definition
Knowledge translation is a dynamic and iterative process that
includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound
application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians,
provide more effective health services and products and
strengthen the health care system.
This process takes place within a complex system of interactions
between researchers and knowledge users that may vary in
intensity, complexity and level of engagement depending on the
nature of the research and the findings as well as the needs of the
particular knowledge user.
www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/29418.html
IHSPR Vision and
Integrated Knowledge Translation
Mandate (2008-
• This approach is also known by such terms as collaborative
research, action-oriented research, and co-production of
knowledge
2013)
• Knowledge users (decision makers) are engaged in the entire
research process
• Collaboration extends to: defining the research questions,
deciding on the methodology, being involved in data collection
and tools development, interpreting the findings, and helping
disseminate the research results.
• Integrated KT should produce research findings that are more
likely be relevant to and used by the end users.
Knowledge User
IHSPR Vision and
•A Knowledge User is an individual:
Mandate (2008-
•who is likely to be able to use the knowledge generated
through research in order to make informed decisions
2013)
about health policies, programs and/or practices;
•whose level of engagement in the research process may
vary in intensity and complexity depending on the nature of
the research and their information needs;
•who can be, but is not limited to, a practitioner, policy-
maker, educator, decision-maker, health care
administrator, community leader, or an individual in a
health charity, patient group, private sector organization or
a media outlet.
Knowledge User
IHSPR Vision and
Mandate (2008-
• Knowledge User is also an official applicant category at
CIHR.
2013)
• CIHR has created two new roles – Principal Knowledge
User and Knowledge User – to recognize the participation
of decision makers (and other types of knowledge users)
in integrated knowledge translation projects. At least one
decision maker must be involved in each application as
the Principal Knowledge User and must be included
among the list of applicants on the grant application.
Decision makers
IHSPR Vision and
•A decision maker is a knowledge user
who hasMandate (2008-
the authority to influence or
2013)
make decisions about health policy or the
delivery of health services. In the PHSI
competition a decision maker is typically
a health-system manager, policy-maker
or clinician leader capable of making
significant changes to policy or practice.
PHSI partners & partnerships
IHSPR Vision and
•Applicants need to find a minimum of 20% or 30% of their
Mandate (2008-
grant budget (depending on province) from partners.
Support can be in-kind or cash, or a combination of both.
There are two sources for this support:
2013)
1. Competition Partners
• These are provincial health funding organizations, the
Mental Health Commission of Canada, the Heart and Stroke
Foundation, and potentially others
• In most cases they need to be contacted with a request for
support 6 weeks before the PHSI application deadline (e.g.,
August 31st for FRSQ, September 3rd for the MHCC and
September 15th for all other competition partners – for the
November 1st 2010 application deadline)
•2. Project-specific partners
• Contributions can be in-kind or financial
• Often linked to the decision-maker team member

How to Apply
Our best advice:
Start your application as soon as possible!
Understanding Eligibility
Step 1: Assemble an eligible team
• In order for your application to be eligible, grant
participants must include:
• At least two Principle Applicants, including the
Nominated Principal Applicant. Of these two Principal
Applicants, we require:
– At least one Independent Researcher:
• is autonomous regarding their research activities; and
• has an academic or research appointment
– At least one Knowledge User
• Uses the knowledge generated through research in order to make
informed decisions about health policies, programs and/or practices;
(e.g. a practitioner, policy-maker, educator, decision-maker, health
care administrator, community leader, or an individual in a health
charity, patient group, private sector organization or a media outlet).
Create Accounts:
Create a ResearchNet Account
** If you have already created these accounts, you’re ahead of the pack!
Please do not create more than one ResearchNet account, CommonCV
account, or CIHR PIN. **
Step 2: Create a ResearchNet account:
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/
• ResearchNet is the Canadian health research
community’s secure, online interface with CIHR
• One-stop access to the full database CIHR
funding opportunities, your applications for
funding (completed and in progress), notices of
decision, etc
Create Accounts:
Create a CIHR PIN & CommonCV Account
Step 3: Request a CIHR PIN
• On ResearchNet, visit the “Register for a CIHR
PIN” link to request a new PIN.
• It can take up to 24-hours for a PIN to be issued
Step 4: Create a CommonCV account:
• https://www.ccv-cvc.ca/
• The Common CV System is designed for
researchers and decision makers to prepare and
submit a CV to an organization when applying
for funding
Prepare Application:
Before you begin
Find out:
Who is the “authorized official” at the
institution that would be handling your
grant’s finances? This person has the
authority to bind the institution to the
general conditions governing grants. You
will need this person’s signature.
Prepare Application
Before you begin
Please read the instructions and guidelines in the
funding opportunity thoroughly and contact us if
you have any questions. CIHR no longer
accepts incomplete applications (e.g. An
application missing required signatures will be
automatically withdrawn).
Prepare Application:
Prepare CommonCV
Step 5: Prepare Common CVs
• All applicants, whether knowledge users or
independent researchers, must complete a CV through
Common CV
• Your role determines the type of CV you must submit:
– Independent researchers submit full CV modules
– Knowledge users/Decision Makers submit a Knowledge User CV
• Each applicant can only “wear one hat” – an applicant
cannot be both a researcher and knowledge user on the
same grant
! Note to night owls: The system is available 24/7, but maintenance and
upgrades are performed daily between 1 am and 6 am EST. Access
is not guaranteed during this time. Save your work before the
maintenance period begins or you might lose your data!
Prepare Application:
Prepare Research Proposal
Step 6: Prepare Research Proposal
• Maximum of 13 pages, not including references, figures, tables,
letters of support, etc
• In the first 12 pages of the Research Proposal the scientific merit
and potential impact assessment criteria in the section Review
Process and Evaluation Criteria should be considered. The following
questions should also be addressed:
– What issue does the proposed research address within the eligible research
theme area?
– What evidence is there that this issue is important from a manager or policy
maker perspective?
– How do you see the results of this project affecting the financing, organization,
management, regulation, or delivery of services for Canadians?
– What are the research questions and objectives? The appropriate literature
should be referenced.
– What are the methods and approach to analysis?
– What linkages does the project have and/or will it develop with specific
individuals and/or groups of managers and/or policy makers?
– What strategies will be used to encourage knowledge translation involving
individuals, managers and/or policy makers identified above?
• The last page of the research proposal (page 13), should outline the main
activities and milestones for the proposed funding period in diagram form
(i.e., the research timeline). Each of these sections must address the merit
criteria as presented earlier and detailed in the funding opportunity.
Prepare Application:
Prepare Budget
p 7: Prepare Budget
wable expenses can include:
– Release time funding may be used to replace part of the salary of a decision maker
to allow them time to participate in the research program.
• The maximum amount paid to an individual is $50,000 per annum (including
the Nominated Principal Applicant).
• A release time stipend will only be awarded upon the approval of the employer
of the decision maker, if applicable.
• Recipients of release time funding are not considered employees of CIHR.
– Consulting fees, provided that such costs are well justified;
– Costs of networking activities, including collaboration, planning, and research
exchange activities directly related to the Team's research project, and extra travel
funds required for members and trainees separated by a significant distance;
– Costs involved in dissemination of the results of the work funded under this funding
opportunity to target audiences;
– Travel, accommodation, workshop/seminar costs, and other KT related activities.
Prepare Application:
Prepare Budget
Step 7: Prepare Budget
• In the Financial Assistance Requested Details attach a document
detailing the justification of all project costs including all costs associated
with the knowledge translation plan.
• Include costs, both cash and/or in-kind, to be covered by the competition
and project funding partners. These must be listed in the "Other Funding"
column of the Financial Assistance Requested section. The budget
requested from CIHR must be listed under the "CIHR" column.
• Funding requested from CIHR exceeding the maximum allowable amount
($350,000 for BC, AB, ON, QC and $400,000 for SASK, MB, NB, NS, PEI,
NL, YK, NWT, NU) are ineligible and will not be merit reviewed. The
minimum partner funding requirements for each application must also be
met in order to be eligible (e.g., 20% or 30% of the total amount of the grant,
depending on the province or territory of residence).
Prepare Application:
Gather Letters of Support
Step 8: Gather Letters of Support
• Letters of Support are required from all partners.
• Signed letters of support from cooperating agencies or
groups (for data access or provision, permission for
interviews, plans for use of results by decision makers,
organizations etc.)
• We strongly encourage Knowledge Users to write a letter
of support. Reviewers look favorably upon this explicit
illustration of knowledge user commitment
Prepare Application:
Identify Partner Task
Step 9: Identify Partner Task
• Enter the names and information details for all the Partners
(Competition Partner & Project-Specific Partner) participating in your
project by clicking on the Identify Application Partners task in
ResearchNet
• Print the Partnership Details PDFs and obtain signatures from each

IHSPR Vision and
PHSI Tips
Mandate (2008-
2013)
For writing a successful
grant application
Applying for a Grant
Adequate preparation
• Read relevant documents thoroughly
• Consult CIHR staff with any questions
• Invest enough time in preparation
– CIHR PIN, Common CVs, signatures
• Have others review your application (not just
your friends and collaborators)
– Start your application several months in
advance and revise, revise, revise
Applying for a Grant
Adequate preparation
• Seek a mentor
• Local pre-review process
• Ask colleagues to review
– Listen to what your reviewers say
– If they express a concern, recognize that
greater clarification in the proposal may be
warranted even if you do not agree with the
comments/concerns
• Don’t be defensive, try to see their point of view
– e.g., think about what you might have written
to mislead them
Applying for a Grant
Writing
• Remember:
Good grantsmanship
cannot save a bad idea
BUT
Poor grantsmanship
can sink a good idea
Applying for a Grant
Writing
• Write with the reviewer in mind; reviewers do
not simply read, they interpret
• Write to convey and inspire confidence
• Establish the need, importance and originality
of your research
• Set challenging yet realistic goals
• Clearly articulate the theoretical or conceptual
framework – do not neglect the literature
review
Applying for a Grant
Writing
• Ensure the proposal flows logically from section
to section, and argument to argument
• The application should be clearly written and
easy to read
• Use simple declarative sentences
• Avoid use of imprecise words, jargon, unusual
abbreviations, acronyms, and poor syntax
• Use headings, bold, underline, italics as needed
• Proof-read! Proof-read! Proof-read!
Committee’s Favorite Comments!
• Low potential Impact – or not “generalizeable”
• Lack of theoretical rationale or incoherent
theory with objectives and methods
• Lack of specificity in the methodology
• Lack of Gender-based analysis
• Lack expertise on the team
How to Annoy the
Committee…
• Write in a really small font
• Avoid paragraph breaks and headings
• Reduce the space between the lines
• Reduce the margins
• Do all of the above and whine that you
do not have enough space to fully
develop your methodology
• Don’t proof read for grammatical errors
How to Annoy the
Committee…
• Say there is NO research on “your topic” when
you are not 100% certain
• Manage to work in a critique about last year’s
committee
• Assume you are so prominent you can get by
on your track record and don’t put a lot of
efforts on writing the proposal
• Include a prominent researcher as a co-
investigator but do not give them a clearly
defined role
• Submit the same support letter for every
partner
Budget: Things to Avoid
• Say you will need a full time Research Director
as well as 3 or 4 full-time Research Assistants
to run your apparently straightforward study
• Say computers cost 6K
• Plan to attend many conferences in the first
year
• Say you will hire students but do not give them
a definite and meaningful task
• Use lots of non-student personnel to minimize
the impact of the grant’s funding
