Apply for Grant Funding

There are still two elements to a research application:

1. your proposal to the sponsor, and
2. University approval to apply.

Available Forms:

• Grant Submission Forms
• Seed Funding, Team Grants, Facilities Optimization, and Aid to Research Related Events Programs

Easy Steps

• Login into the MyConcordia portal using your Netname and Password.
• Choose ConRAD under "Research and Innovation".
• Under "Apply New" and open the necessary form about one week before the internal deadline.
• Complete the fields.
• Attach the final version of your proposal.
• ConRAD automatically routes your request through the internal approval process, ending at the Office of Research (OOR).
• At the OOR, we can approve your application by:
  • sending it to the sponsor via their online system, or
  • signing the hardcopy, if the sponsor prefers a paper submission.
• When your proposal is ready for submission to the sponsor, follow the sponsor’s instructions:
  • Sponsors using online systems: submit your final proposal through their system and the OOR will approve and forward it to the sponsor. We will also attach a copy to your ConRAD record.
  • Paper Submissions: OOR will sign the application and you can forward the hardcopy to the sponsor.

Using ConRAD does not replace the need to submit your final proposal to the sponsor.
