Submit your funding application

There are still two elements to a research application:

1. Your proposal to the sponsor, and
2. University approval to apply.

Available Forms:

• Grant Details Form
• Inter-institutional Details Form
  
• Seed Funding, Team Grants, Facilities Optimization, and Aid to Research Related Events Programs

Easy Steps

• Open ConRAD. (The link can also be found on Carrefour's My CU Account page.) 
• Under "Apply New," open the necessary form about one week before the internal deadline.
• Complete the fields and attach the final version of your proposal.

ConRAD automatically routes your request through the internal approval process, ending at the Office of Research (OOR).

• At the OOR, we can approve your application by:
  • sending it to the sponsor via their online system, or
  • signing the hardcopy, if the sponsor prefers a paper submission.
• When your proposal is ready for submission to the sponsor, follow the sponsor’s instructions:
  • Sponsors using online systems: submit your final proposal through their system. The OOR will review and forward it to the sponsor.
    
  • Paper Submissions: OOR will sign the application, and either you or an OOR employee can forward the hardcopy to the sponsor.
  • Using ConRAD does not replace the need to submit your final proposal to the sponsor, but it is required for grant approvals.
    

Submit a HREC protocol

Available Forms:

• Human Research Ethics - Summary Protocol Form

Easy Steps

• Open ConRAD. (You can also find this link on Carrefour's My CU Account page.)
• Under "Apply New," open a Summary Protocol Form (SPF) prior to the start of the research project.
• Complete the fields and attach the required documents.

ConRAD automatically routes your request through to the Office of Research (OOR).

Important: It may take up to six weeks for the committee’s decision. Data collection should not begin until ethics approval has been obtained.
