U of A Grant Application Deadlines
Deadlines + Internal Approval Procedures
The process for requesting approval of research grant applications is now managed through the Research Administrative Services (RAS) online approval system. To submit an application for review, log in to your Researcher Home Page using the Login Button on the RAS homepage and then click on “Create Application/Proposal/Project.” This Quick Reference Guide provides usefully detailed instructions.
Please check the Faculty of Arts deadline for individual applications.
Once a request is submitted, the automated system will request approval from all relevant individuals, including your co-applicants, Chair, Vice-Dean (Research), and our Faculty’s Research Facilitator in the RAS.
For SSHRC and some other applications, the Vice-Dean (Research) may provide a ‘peer review’ during the approval process, but final approval to submit your application comes from the RAS.
External Grant Applications
Approval is required before submitting external grant applications. This includes SSHRC and other Tri-Council applications.
If you have any questions about deadlines or application process, please contact the Arts Research Office at resarts@ualberta.ca.
