What happens after you submit an application?
- Our team checks your status, eligibility, alignment with funding areas and the completeness of your documentation. We’ll let you know within two days if we spot any issues.
- You must provide missing details by April 10, 2024 at 2 p.m. EDT.
- Only complete, eligible applications received by the deadline are considered by the CIRA Grants Evaluation Panel.
- The Evaluation Panel reviews and selects projects using this rubric and presents their recommendations to CIRA’s board of directors. CIRA’s board makes the final decision.
- Successful applicants will be notified and provided with approval letters and contracts in July. Once contracts are signed, the funds are released.
- CIRA staff will reach out to unsuccessful applicants in July.
