• This resource provides insights from Drs. William Colmers, Brian Rowe, Dean Eurich and Kim Raine into the preparation of a successful grant application summary page across the 4 Themes/Pillars of CIHR. A carefully prepared and clearly organized application prejudices the reviewer in your favor. ​This document provides guidelines for communicating with reviewers through the summary page about what is and is not know​n​ within the research area and what the general approach will be in addressing the unresolved questions. 4 examples of an effective summary page for each theme are shown. First, Dr. Colmers describes a Theme/Pillar 1 -(Biomedical - experimental medicine) summary page followed by an example of a Theme/Pillar 2 (Clinical - clinical science) summary page written by Dr. Rowe. Next, Theme/Pillar 3 (Health Systems & Services) example has been written by Dr. Eurich and Dr. Raine provides a Theme/Pillar 4 (Social, Cultural, Environmental & Population Health). Together, through the use of Toejam, these authors convey what makes a clear summary page for each CIHR Theme.
