Our goal is for the review process to follow the tentative timeline shown in the figure below:

CIREP applications are discussed and decisions made in the committee’s meetings, which are usually scheduled on the last Thursday of the month. As shown in the figure, a minimum of five weeks after the prescreening is complete and before the committee’s meeting is needed. Below we list tentative deadlines to submit an application in order for it to be considered at a given meeting.

Please note that the review process may take longer as it depends on a variety of factors: the nature and complexity of the research project, the date of submission, the IP’s turnaround time, the volume of applications under review, etc.
