Notes (again!) re proposal review deadlines and overhead rates
by Feiyue Wang 03 Nov '25

03 Nov '25

Dear all, It was brought to my attention again that there were still confusions about how proposal reviews are being handled. So below are a few quick reminders re the now-not-too-new practices established and enforced by the ORS/VPRIO. - Internal review deadline = 14 work days before the agency/sponsor deadline for any and all types of externally-funded proposals (grants, contracts, research agreements). This is the deadline you submit to the Riddell Faculty (Sadia and me) your next-to-final version of the proposal (including budgetary details) and a FAAF that has already been signed by your Dept. Head. We will review, sign the FAAF, and then submit your package to ORS, on your behalf, for their compliance review. You are allowed (and encouraged!) to keep polishing your proposal while it’s under internal reviews. - Overhead costs (aka “institutional costs”, “indirect research costs” or "facilities and administrative costs”): Whenever allowed, UM requires overhead cost be included in the budget. Typical rate is 25% for NFRF grants, 15% for other non-Tri-Agency grants, and 30% for contracts/research agreements. Details can be found at: https://umanitoba.ca/research/office-research-services/funding-application-…. - Exception requests: Request for either deadline extension or overhead exception will need to be approved directly by VPRI under truly exceptional circumstances, and I can attest that such approval has been rare (if any!). I understand not everyone is happy with these practices, but they are "the law of the land” and I am afraid I don’t see any appetite from the Admin to make any changes anytime soon. Any further questions please drop me a line anytime! Fei

This event will bring together researchers and innovators across multiple time zones from Canada, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and New Zealand to forge new collaborations and share expertise in polar climate research. This event focuses on a specific set of Horizon Europe calls (Cluster 5, Destination 1) from the draft 2026-2027 Work Programme. These topics address critical knowledge gaps and aim to advance our understanding of a changing climate, with a particular focus on the high-latitude regions and their global impacts. Other European researchers and innovators with relevant expertise are also welcome to attend and pitch. Event Details * Date: November 6, 2025 (1PM – 3PM Ottawa Time, 7 – 9PM Brussels Time) * Platform: MS Teams * Register: Eventbrite Link<https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/advancing-climate-science-a-horizon-europe-virt…> Event Format The virtual matchmaking event will begin with an overview from each of the host nations, highlighting their key research priorities and capacities. The session will then break into dedicated virtual rooms for each call. This will be your opportunity to provide your three-minute pitch to potential partners. Participants can present their projects and organization. Your pitch should clearly articulate your expertise and how you can contribute to a consortium for a specific call. Participating organizations are also welcome to observe. Calls for Collaboration We are inviting researchers and innovators with relevant expertise on the following calls: * HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-01: Next generation climate monitoring and related capabilities. This call focuses on improving climate data for a wide range of users, stakeholders and regions to support climate change assessments and climate monitoring. It supports the development, maintenance and analysis of key climate data sets and analysis tools. * HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-02: Advancing European climate risk assessments This topic is about developing more sophisticated tools to assess and manage climate risks. By combining our diverse perspectives and data from different regions, we can build a more comprehensive picture of vulnerabilities and develop better adaptation strategies. * HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-03: Economics of climate change and cost of inaction This call focuses on the economic dimensions of climate change. It's an essential area for collaboration, allowing us to quantify the financial benefits of climate action versus the mounting costs of delay. Your insights will be invaluable in building a robust economic case for global climate policy. * HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-06: Closing knowledge gaps on Earth system science in support of global and regional assessments and climate policy This broad call is the perfect fit for a wide range of expertise. It invites us to fill the missing pieces in our understanding of the Earth's climate system, from ocean dynamics to atmospheric science. The goal is to provide the critical scientific foundation needed to inform and strengthen international climate policies, such as those of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Submission Details If you are planning to pitch, please include your preferred call, a 200-word summary of your pitch, and your contact information when you register. You may also submit one slide to support your pitch. Please submit your slide to horizoneurope(a)ised-isde.gc.ca<mailto:horizoneurope@ised-isde.gc.ca> by November 1.
