For travel meal reimbursements from grants, you must have both the itemized receipts and the receipt with proof of payment. If you are missing the proof of payment, a redacted credit card statement can be submitted. Failure to produce the itemized receipt will cause the item to be rejected (no exceptions or excuses are tolerated), but a per diem amount can be claimed instead (see table in more information link above).

Boarding passes are necessary as proof of travel.

Grants Administration

Do you only support DEEP Faculty members?

DEEP Faculty members take priority. All other requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and will depend on prior commitments.

Can the DEEP Grants Administrator prepare all the grant including the grant writing?

We help administer and review the grant. Please see related FAQs below.

Can you prepare my CV or the Canadian common CV for a grant application?

We do NOT prepare or compile CVs or the Canadian common CV. This is prepared by the research applicant themselves.

When should I make a request for help with a grant application?

A minimum of 2 months prior to any OSR internal deadline. This will improve the chances of a successful grant application. All grant applications must be approved and sent to OSR prior to any Researcher (PI, co-PI or co-applicant) being away. It is essential for a cooperative and efficient application that all deadlines be respected, and material should be submitted with sufficient time for a comprehensive review. The researcher is responsible for their content deadlines, especially if they are expecting to be away during the grant application process. Late submissions risk being missed or rushed, which can negatively impact the outcome of the application and potentially damage collaborative relationships.

When are the work times of DEEP Grants Administration?

The DEEP Grants Administration office is open from 9.00 am 鈥 5.00 pm Monday to Friday (with the exception of Summer Fridays). All requests and all grant material is handled within this time. We do not work during weekends or during a national holiday or vacations. We do not accept any work on a Friday afternoon to meet a deadline for the following Monday 9.00 am. For these reasons we encourage all researchers to plan well ahead of time for our expert services. Requests or emails sent after business hours will not be addressed on the same business day. It is the responsibility of the Researcher to provide all information with specific details for any requests in a timely manner.

How much time do I need to prepare my grant application?

A grant application takes a lot of time, effort and intricate information, and thus for a successful grant application we recommend at least 3-6 months. Please plan ahead and schedule Grants Administration services for a successful outcome.

Can you help me with the budget and budget justification?

Yes, we can help curate the research budget for the DEEP study at 海外直播b站. Please provide us with the specific budget items and the specific grant funding guidelines. Through weekly meetings we collaborate with the DEEP researcher for grant progress to ensure that we are all on the same level, and with respect to the funding agency guidelines. The onus is on the Principal Investigator to ensure that collaborating teams are responsible for their own budgets and the compiling.

Can you review my Research Proposal?

Yes, we carry out a full and thorough review on finalized drafts with respect to the funding agency guidelines. Please plan ahead of time and schedule the review with us.

Can I forward my budget and research proposal to you to review within 24 hours of a grant application deadline?

We require at least 7-10 days before the application deadline to review the research proposal and the budget. It is unacceptable to begin working on a full application in less than 10 business working days for the research proposal, budget, budget justification, institutional letters of support and letters of confirmation. Henceforth, please schedule our services 2-3 months ahead.

Can DEEP grants administration help with larger scale grants?

Yes. For larger scale grants we require a 6 month notification and a meeting with the PI and Co-PI to plan ahead for a successful outcome and strategic project management.

Would the Grants Administrator forward my grant application to OSR?

The onus is on the Researcher. However, under special circumstances, if the Researcher is away the Grants Administrator can schedule this after discussing with the Researcher and obtaining the correct login information for the funding agency. A request must be submitted to ihspgrants.med [at] mcgill.ca (DEEP Grants Administration).

Where does OSR fit into having a DEEP Grants Administrator?

We collaborate closely with OSR, thus if you have OSR-related questions please continue to contact them as we strongly encourage research teams to meet all OSR deadlines.

Who do I write to in order to get an OSR checklist signed by the Chair? Who does it go to after that?听

Please send documents for signing by the Chair to her amelie.quesnelvallee [at] mcgill.ca (email address) and put directoradmin.ihsp [at] mcgill.ca (Sonia Bichler)听in cc. Please be warned that last minute requests may get missed. From there it should go to the Associate Dean, Research - sylvain.baillet [at] mcgill.ca (Prof. Sylvain Baillet) with the riac.med [at] mcgill.ca (Research Officer)听in cc.

If I am in a situation whereby I am within 24 hours of a deadline and I have not finished the budget or research proposal can the Grants Administrator still help?

Please email theihspgrants.med [at] mcgill.ca ( Grants Administrator)听and please see Q: How much time do I need to prepare my grant application?

Can the Grants Administrator handle budget data entry?

We do not offer data entry services. Please explore other entities in your research team.

Can you prepare the Institutional letter of support?

Yes. We prepare the institutional letter of support. For this we require specific information from the Researcher for the grant call. Please contact the听ihspgrants.med [at] mcgill.ca (Grants Administrator).
