The 5 February 2025 deadline to apply for the CIHR Reviewer in Training Program is fast approaching!
Interested and eligible Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are encouraged to submit their applications ahead of the deadline. The CIHR Reviewer in Training (RiT) Program runs twice a year during the Spring and Fall Project Grant Competitions. It offers ECRs a learning opportunity to gain a better understanding of the elements of high-quality review and the peer review process.
Applicants can choose to apply as a Mentee or apply as an ECR Reviewer
- Mentees
- Mentees participate in the Project Grant competition with the support of a Mentor. They conduct practice reviews on up to three applications, attend the peer review meeting in full, present one review, and participate in the committee discussions.
- ECR Reviewers
- ECR Reviewers participate in the same capacity as regular reviewers and will have access to all of the supportive resources that CIHR provides to committee members. They will have a reduced number of applications to review (up to five) and be able to present their assigned applications later in the meeting.
