Major Grant Holders

  • Major grant holders may be eligible to receive one teaching release if they are the Primary Investigator (PI) for a major grant from only NSERC, SSHRC, and CIHR grants. Co-principal investigators and co-applicants are not eligible. 

  • PI's are required to fill out the Major Grant Holder Application Form each year that they hold the grant by October 31. For grants initially awarded between January 1 and May 31 please submit the form by May 31 in the first year of funding. Please email the completed application and all support documents to ROSA.Release@ufv.ca

  • Major Grant Holder Releases are eligible for the duration of the grant (# of years total) but they are not applicable to extension years taken after the term of the grant. For example: You hold a Tri-Agency grant as the principal investigator for three years total, you are eligible to apply for a release for each year. If you decide that you will opt for the extension (providing the grant allows for it) then you would not be eligible for a release in the extension year.

  • Contact ROSA.Release@ufv.ca for more information.

"(Research has) been a really sweet way to optimize my time at school. Looking back, I’m so grateful that I did this. It has truly been a highlight to work under Shelley (Canning). She has been a wonderful mentor and has impacted me and my nursing practice immensely."
