Registration Guidelines
The registration form includes four sections, and each section must be completed before you can move to the next. For a glance at the the full form, you can view it here as a PDF.
Below are guidelines for the following sections:
Supporting Documentation
Please upload a project concept note (500 words max): a lay summary of your research proposal, including your research objectives and proposed methodology.
GPS Specialist
Matching with a GPS Specialist is required to register for Research GPS, and must be completed before the deadline of September 4, 2024. Researchers must select a GPS Specialist from our list of qualified grant development specialists who have supported the program in past years.
Researchers are encouraged to reach out to their Faculty Research Officer for assistance with selecting a Specialist, as they may have experience working with certain Specialists and have a recommendation for you. You can find contact information for your Faculty Research Officer here.
How to match with a GPS Specialist
Matching with a GPS Specialist involves confirming their interest and availability in supporting your proposal. We suggest sending them your project concept note and confirming that they are available to dedicate 20 hours of consultation time to help develop your grant proposal. You may also want to get a sense of the Specialist’s funding program expertise and experience, consultation style, and preferred format for working (in-person, virtually, or by email) to ensure that they align with your needs and goals.
Peer Reviewers
Please provide five suggested Peer Reviewers. They can be internal or external to York University, and they do not need to be arms-length to you. You do not need to contact your suggested reviewers, as we will facilitate the process.
After the program launches, we will aim to secure two Peer Reviewers from the suggestions you provide. If all five Peer Reviewers are unavailable, we will ask you to provide further suggestions.
