Applications to be administered by the university.

IMPORTANT: Faculty are strongly encouraged to submit applications for editorial review. The editorial review is an effective way to increase the probability of funding success.

OVDRHSE provides editorial reviews free of charge for St. George campus-based researchers, please contact the editors as soon as possible. Click here for details.

My Research Applications (MRA). Applicants MUST have submitted their application information online via the My Research Applications portal. This is an online submission process to obtain institutional approval on research applications. Please note that you will be required to upload a copy of the application to this online submission. Please complete this step as early as possible and at least several days ahead of the deadline to insure all approvals are obtained on time. Please visit the OVPRI's MRA webpage for complete information an this process

Please note there are still two elements to a research application at the University of Toronto: your proposal to the sponsor, and University approval to apply. MRA facilitates University approval to apply, replacing the RIS Application Attachment form (aka Blue form). MRA does not replace the need to submit your final proposal to the sponsor.
