Roles and Responsibilities

(7600 characters)

INSTRUCTIONS

Describe:

1. the relative roles, responsibilities and contributions of the applicant, and of any co-applicants and collaborators (if applicable, clearly outline the rationale for international collaboration);
2. for team applications: the relative proportion (in percentage) of each member's contribution to the proposed project;
3. the proportion of time to be spent on this project in relation to any other ongoing research projects or programs (excluding prospective grants); and
4. if the project involves community participants such as knowledge users, the support provided by the community, and the applicant’s ties with said communities.

Note: For team applications, if the adjudication committee determines that the applicant is not responsible for, or equipped to exercise, the leadership of the research, the Feasibility score may be lowered.

STRATEGIC ADVICE

Keep in mind that Collaborators (even academic ones), do not upload a Canadian Common CV (CCV). Therefore, this section is one of the only places to provide the committee with information on Collaborator capacity.

Consider including governance structure and decision-making processes, where applicable.

If you are proposing a project without team members (no Co-applicants or Collaborators), use this section to reiterate the key PI responsibilities (including student training and knowledge mobilization), and confirm that you have the necessary expertise.
