1.       Submit ROLA application 

2.       Send a structurally complete draft application, especially the budget and highly qualified personnel training plan to  researchoffice@uwo.ca. A word document of the draft or a pdf preview from the sponsor website is okay. Also include any relevant documents for co-applicants or collaborators.

 5-10 business days prior to the posted sponsor deadline
Sponsor (NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC, etc.)

Submit the final application online on the sponsor website. This should be done 3-5 business days before the posted sponsor deadline.

For tri-council grants, when you click submit on the online application system, the application does not go directly to the sponsor. The application goes to ORS for a final compliance check and institutional approval. ORS will officially submit the application on your behalf. You will be sent an email notification by ORS once your application has been submitted. So it is crucial to submit the final application 3-5 business days prior to the sponsor’s deadline.

If you require access to the application to make any further edits, contact Jennifer Hancock (jhanco@uwo.ca), up until the application has been officially submitted.
