Research Grant Application Checklist
Internal Peer Review
Purpose:
• To improve grantsmanship and strengthen and enhance the quality of grant applications
• To improve DLSPH research application success rates for Tri-Council and other peer-reviewed requests for proposals
• Promote teamwork, collaboration and collegiality in DLSPH
Benefits:
• For new PIs: promotes mentorship for new and early researchers in DSLPH = long term success
• For senior PIs serving as reviewers: allows them to stay abreast of new and innovative methods and approaches = continued success
• Increase the potential for CRC allocation to DLSPH through increased Tri-Council funding
• An increase in successful applications also increase indirect cost recovery which in turns allows more future research support in DLSPH
• For all PIs: increase competitiveness for awards and promotion

4) Obtaining DLSPH Approval:
Approvals are now obtained through the online MRHP system. Please submit your application at least 1 week ahead of the REB deadline in order to obtain approval by DLSPH’s Associate Dean of Research.
5) Renewals, Amendments, Study Completion Requests:
Please complete these activities via the online MRHP system. A signature from the Associate Dean of Research is not required.
6) MRHP Tutorials:
I am a FACULTY PI
• How do I create a NEW SUBMISSION (original protocol document)?
• How do I create an AMENDMENT on my “legacy” protocol (created prior to October 25, 2017, i.e. before the launch of My Research – Human Protocols (MRHP) system)?
• How do I create a RENEWAL on my “legacy” protocol (created prior to October 25, 2017, i.e. before the launch of My Research – Human Protocols (MRHP) system)?
• How do I create a PROTOCOL COMPLETION REPORT (PCR)?
• How do I designate a PI ASSISTANT? (They will help create a protocol in my name.)
• How do I designate a STUDENT PI? (They will create a protocol in their name.)
I am a STUDENT PI
• I want to create an Original Submission in my Name
◦ How do I create a NEW human research ethics protocol in my name (Student PI)?
• I want to work on an EXISTING human research ethics protocol on which I am PI
◦ How do I create a protocol document (e.g. renewal or amendment) on my student protocol that was created prior to October 25, 2017, i.e. before the launch of My Research – Human Protocols (MRHP) system? (“Legacy Protocol”)?
