Please explain how EDI and SGBA considerations, if applicable, have been integrated into the project (maximum ½ page). Please note this ½ page is in addition to the five-page proposal.
Note: The MCNHR encourages applicants to integrate EDI and SGBA considerations into their projects. However, the integration of EDI and SGBA considerations in aspects such as the project’s research design, data analysis and knowledge translation/mobilization plan, are not mandatory components and will not be a formal evaluation criterion that will impact the applicant’s chances of success. Rather, this new requirement is in line with the Tri-Agency EDI Action Plan for 2018-2025, which highlights initiatives Canada’s federal funding agencies have undertaken to foster a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive research ecosystem in Canada. In addition, the new requirement is meant to help facilitate discussions in research teams in the CON and beyond to build capacity to address and integrate SGBA and EDI considerations meaningfully in research.

Priorities in funding
Application process
Applications for open access publishing funds will be submitted using the online MCNHR service request form with appended supporting documents:
All applicants will receive an email from the MCNHR regarding the outcome of their request for open access funding. Successful applicants will be provided with information about whom to contact in the CON regarding processes regarding paying the journal open access fee cost. When possible, successful applicants should acknowledge the Open Access Funding support from the College of Nursing Endowment Fund, as per the email communication, in the funding section of their publication. We recognize that acknowledgement of open access funding is not always possible if final proofs of the manuscript have already been submitted to the journal and no revisions are allowed by the publishers.
Submit your request for Open Access Funding Support through the online submission portal.
