Project Funding Indicate if any application has been made to other funding agencies for support of all or part of this project. If yes, provide further details in Box 29. In the case of multi-centre projects, an ethics review certificate is required from each participating agency. If ethics certification is deemed unnecessary, then a waiver to that effect is required from the ethics review committee. All projects involving the use of human subjects, human material, the collection of survey data through the application of a survey instrument directly to human subjects or the collection of data contained in confidential records, must include samples of consent forms to be used in the study.
Projects involving access to existing databases require proof of access to the databases.
The absence of these letters may place the application at a disadvantage in the review process and will delay the final decision. The summary should be a brief description of the planned work, in language appropriate for the general public. Avoid scientific and technical language. Rationale Describe the project in such a way as to address the project's potential to influence health policy, its contribution to the knowledge base, timeliness and generalizability. The information will be used by relevance and priority raters to assess whether and how the project fits within Health Canada research themes identified in Box 18.
