The Recruitment stream of the call is open to Faculty of Medicine Departments and Schools, with Centres/Institutes as partners.
Eligibility Criteria & Application Process
Please note that to be eligible, interested Departments and Schools must consult their Department/School Finance Manager, who will work with the unit on their financial planner. To ensure that units have sufficient time to complete the proposal, the deadline to consult with the Finance Manager is March 25, 2024, however, units should notify their Finance Managers right way, if they are planning to submit a Recruitment Application.
This consultation is crucial to validate the unit’s financial viability for supporting the prospective recruit’s salary, including any delta during the period of the award and full salary after the CRC concludes. Once validation is prepared, finance will forward the financial planner to Managing Director, FoM to determine if the Departments and Schools can move forward with preparing a full application package.
Upon obtaining approval to proceed from the Managing Director, FoM, Departments/Schools should promptly email Corné du Plessis, the Strategic Programs Officer in the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Research. The email must include finance validation from the Finance Manager and approval to proceed from the Managing Director, FoM. Following this, Corné will share the proposal template and next steps with the eligible Department/School.
Application packages will only be accepted by the Office of Research from Departments and Schools that have obtained the necessary approval to move forward by the Managing Director, FoM.
Additionally, Departments/Schools are urged to promptly fill out the 2024 CRC Space Plan template to prevent potential delays in securing space planning approval: 2024 CRC Space Plan Template
Submission Process
Complete applications packages must be submitted via email to Corné du Plessis in the Faculty of Medicine’s Office of Research by no later than 12:00PM on April 6, 2024.
Adjudication & Next Steps
