Grant application process

Grant application submission process

Submitting a well-developed research grant/proposal involves several steps to ensure a successful submission and timely response. Here is a simple step-by-step guide to follow once you have completed your proposal:

• Using the comments and suggestions, prepare the final version of the application and all necessary copies. 

• Review the funding agency/sponsors guidelines and requirements and ensure your application meets all criteria.

• Your final version should be submitted to Concordia’s Office of Research (OOR) at least three working days before the agency deadline to ensure sufficient time to receive approval from the university.

• Upload and submit your complete application and all supporting documentation to ConRAD.

• The university’s approval process occurs through the ConRAD system. Your application will be reviewed by one of our research development advisors, your Faculty and the Office of Research for final approval. You may receive comments or feedback that will need to be addressed in your proposal.

• The grant application is then submitted electronically to the agency.

Follow these steps and adhere to Concordia's research grant application processes to improve your chances of submitting a complete and timely application.
