Applicants who are chosen to submit a full proposal and do not already have a relationship with a CFAR are required to establish a mentor/collaborator relationship with a CFAR-affiliated investigator. This includes senior investigators at international institutions affiliated with CFARs. Resources regarding potential CFAR-affiliated mentor/collaborators are listed here:

• Do a PubMed search on your topic and find researchers in your area.
• NIH CFAR webpage describing which CFARs are collaborating with international institutions. This website lists CFARs and people at the CFARs, links to the individual CFAR's websites, and lists international sites.
• CTSA Collaboration Website
• Biomed Experts Website

Applicants who are unable to find a mentor/collaborator through these resources must contact the CNIHR program at info@cnihr.org by or before January 9, 2012 to receive assistance.
In addition to the CFAR mentor, applicants are allowed to include another mentor/collaborator at another institution (CFAR-affiliated or not).
