UBC Point Grey campus
This UBC Support Programs to Advance Research Capacity (SPARC) event will feature a panel of UBC faculty selected for their service on CIHR Project Grant Peer Review Committees that receive the most applications from UBC faculty. The Project Grant competition is CIHR's primary operating grant that supports ideas with the greatest potential to advance health-related fundamental or applied knowledge. This event is ideal for new and re-submitting applicants to the upcoming Fall 2019 CIHR Project Grant competition.

- Committee culture and how it affects application ratings
- How to move an application from “fundable” to “funded”
