Internal Funding Opportunities
Earlier this year, the OVPRI launched a revised suite of internal funding programs to support faculty in advancing their research and pursuing external funding opportunities.
These programs are the result of a recent review of our internal funding portfolio. The aim of the new suite of programs is to create a more streamlined and accessible suite of supports that will be easier to navigate and will better align with evolving faculty needs and UTM's broader research and innovation priorities.
These should be considered pilot programs, and after the completion of the first cycle we will be seeking feedback from faculty to help us refine and improve them. Click the link for details about each program, including eligibility and application timelines.
Should you have any questions about these programs, please contact our team at funding.ovpri.utm@utoronto.ca.
External Funding Opportunities
Visit our External Funding for Faculty page to find information on common funding sources, searchable databases, and information on completing MRAs.
Our office offers editorial review of draft grant applications, and can help arrange peer review prior to application submission. If you are interested in any of these services, please reach out to grants.ovpri.utm@utoronto.ca.
- For editorial review, please submit your application by email at least 2 weeks prior to the MRA deadline.
- For help with arranging peer review, please contact the OVPRI with a solid draft and suggested peer reviewers at least 4 weeks prior to the MRA deadline.
