GRIP programs require each university to put forward proposals that reflect institutional-level planning. This process differs from other government-funded programs (such as many of tri-council funding programs) where individual researchers submit their research project proposals directly to the agency.
Due to the institutional decision-making and coordination that GRIP programs require, the Office of Research Services (ORS) works with the Office of Vice-President Research & Innovation (VPRI) to facilitate and coordinate all of York’s GRIP proposals. This activity is developed and implemented in keeping with York University's strategic planning.
As with all applications for external research funding, GRIP applications, including Letters of Intent, must be reviewed and approved by the ORS and VPRI before they are submitted to the granting agency. The application must be accompanied by a completed ORS Checklist, which requires signatures from the principal investigation’s Chair and Dean.
