Funding Opportunities – Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba

Operating Grants:

Under the current circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 operating grant competition until further notice. We are hopeful the competition can resume at a later date this year but we cannot confirm this with any certainty at this time. What we can say with certainty is that the decision to delay the competition is a result of the current situation with COVID-19 and the financial impact it is having on our partners at the Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Our priority is to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the health and safety of our research community. As such, we are still planning many details and once we have more information on the revised competition dates and deadlines, we will share those with you. We have not outruled the possibility to cancel the competition this year, however, we are reviewing all options before making that decision.

CHRIM Summer Studentships:

Please note that our program will continue. Once awarded, please contact your supervisor to determine how to proceed. You will receive your award as originally outlined in your award letter. However, you may have to work on your own and spend your time reviewing literature, assisting your supervisor with analyzing data, compiling a review article or other publication, etc. The main change due to the COVID-19 situation is your working conditions and research duties may have to be altered to protect your safety as well as that of others.
