CIHR Grants and Awards

The datasets found below contain information regarding investments in health research made by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for projects that received funding within specified time periods (fiscal year or quarters within) since the 2000-2001 fiscal year. Fiscal years at CIHR run from April 1st to March 31st. Please note that much of the information in the files below is provided in the language in which it was submitted by the researcher.

Significant changes to the way information is reported on this page were made in September 2024 and are applicable to all files published henceforth. Changes were made to improve the user experience and increase data accessibility. A more robust and informative metadata file was introduced as well as additional data fields. There is now one amalgamated file provided per fiscal year, organized into the following five tabs:

Grants & Awards - This dataset contains general information about the funded projects. There is one row per project with the exception of situations when information pertaining to that project (e.g. the nominated principal investigator, the institution receiving funds) changes within a fiscal year.

Research Team (formerly “Co-Applicants”) - This dataset contains information about the investigators on funded projects and their affiliations. There is one row per investigator, and multiple investigators can exist per project.

Partners - This dataset contains information about the partners (both applicant-level partners and CIHR competition-level partners) aligned with a funded project. There is one row per partner and multiple partners can exist per project.

Research Categories [NEW] - This dataset contains information about the various research area classifications that applicants can identify their projects as relevant to. There is one row per research area and there are usually multiple research areas listed per project.

Institutions [NEW] - This dataset contains further information about the institutions linked to the projects identified in the other tabs.

The file mentioned above is now updated on a quarterly basis, as opposed to annually:

Quarter 1 update – Dataset contains information regarding projects that received funding between April 1st and June 30th (quarter 1).

Quarter 2 update – Dataset contains information regarding projects that received funding between April 1st and September 30th (quarters 1 and 2).

Quarter 3 update – Dataset contains information regarding projects that received funding between April 1st and December 31st (quarters 1, 2 and 3).

Quarter 4 update [entire fiscal year] – Dataset contains information regarding projects that received funding between April 1st and March 31st (quarters 1, 2, 3 and 4).

Each update will replace the previous quarterly dataset to include data associated with all projects that received funding up to and including the most recent quarter. For example, the quarter 3 update will include all previous information provided in the quarter 1 and 2 updates, as well as new information for quarter 3. The full fiscal year file – provided following the close of the fiscal year – will replace the quarterly file for that year and will contain information for the entire April 1st to March 31st fiscal period. The quarter 4 dataset is considered final for reporting purposes.

The 60+ files published prior to September 2024 no longer appear on this page. However, the data are available in the previous format (e.g. with the old field names), but collapsed to amalgamate all fiscal years from 2000-01 to 2022-23 into one large dataset with three tabs (Grants & Awards, Co-Applicants, Partners). This file contains the word “ARCHIVE” in its name and is found at the bottom of this page. The individual fiscal year files have also been recreated in alignment with the new format and are available below for continuity of reporting purposes.

The individual fiscal year files can be joined using the FundingReferenceNumber_NumeroReferenceFinancement, which now serves as the unique identifier for all funded projects. The former unique identifier (Key-Clé) provided in the archived datasets will remain present for continuity, as required. Note that this field is now called FundingCode_CodeFinancement. Any project that appeared in the archived datasets – and therefore had a Funding Code generated – will carry that key forward to all future datasets in which they appear. New projects will not contain the former Funding Code field, and only the FundingReferenceNumber_NumeroReferenceFinancement will be included. The FundingCode_CodeFinancement field will be retired once funding for projects with a Funding Code has ended.

The datasets are encoded in Latin-1. This was chosen to allow proper display of French accents in Microsoft Windows programs (e.g. Excel). On other operating systems, the encoding may need to be specified as Latin-1 for the files to be read properly.

Grant: Support for the direct costs of research projects including for the training of researchers and/or activities that support the translation of research findings, conducted by either an investigator working alone or by a group of investigators working together.

Award: Generally intended as direct salary support to individual research personnel or stipend support to individual research trainees. Occasionally awards can carry funding intended for use on research expenditures (e.g. Canada Research Chair awards).
