Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the IQP’s Call for Research Ideas and The IQP Proposal Development Grant?
The Call for Research ideas invites applicants to submit their research ideas to be reviewed by the Inuit Research Management Committee (IRMC). Successful applicants will be invited to submit a research project proposal in Late Summer/Fall 2025.
On the other hand, the Proposal Development Grant will actively fund 1-year proposals for the purpose of building relationships between community members and researchers and designing or co-developing a research project proposal. It does NOT fund the research project but the project team is encouraged to submit it to future Call for Proposals.
How do I apply? Where do I find the proposal form and guide for applicants?
If you are applying In Inuktut or French:
- Download the application forms here and email it to IQP@ITK.ca

Please note: English submissions will only be accepted via email if you are unable to use/access the Survey Monkey platform.
All information about the program can be found on the ArcticNet website: https://arcticnet.ulaval.ca/inuit-qaujisarnirmut-pilirijjutit. We encourage you to contact the program coordinators at IQP@ITK.ca with ANY questions you may have.
Can I get all the material translated in various Inuktut dialects?
Yes, we currently have the application material in Inuktitut, Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait, and Inuinnaqtun, here: https://arcticnet.ca/inuit-qaujisarnirmut-pilirijjutit/. Other Inuktut dialects can be requested by emailing us at IQP@ITK.ca.

When are proposals due?
Proposals are due on December 20th, 2024 at 11:59pm. Remember that a complete proposal consists of the following documents: 1. Completed proposal form; 2. Signed engagement form/support letter or other support document(s), and 3. A completed budget table.
Who reviews the proposals?
Proposals are reviewed at the regional and national levels. Proposals are first reviewed by regional committees in Nunatsiavut, Nunavut, Nunavik, and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), depending on in which region your proposed research is taking place. Recommendations for funding or invitations to submit a proposal are then reviewed and evaluated at the national level by ArcticNet’s Inuit Research Management Committee (IRMC). Once the IRMC has conducted the national review, their project recommendations are presented to the ArcticNet Board of Directors for approval prior to granting funds.
Who is the Inuit Research Management Committee?
The Inuit Research Management Committee (also known as the IRMC) is a committee funded by ArcticNet and is made up of representatives from the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC), Makivvik, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI), and Nunatsiavut Government, with Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada (ICC), and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) as observers.
Do I need to have a degree or to have gone to university?
You do not need to have a degree to propose a project. While it is often helpful to have some research background, the purpose of this program is to support Inuit-led research specifically.
Where can I find the National Inuit Strategy on Research (NISR)?
You can get a copy of the National Inuit Research Strategy at https://www.itk.ca/national-inuit-strategy-on-research/. If you are unable to access the document, please write to program coordinators at IQP@ITK.ca.
Can urban Inuit apply to the program?
Yes, the program is open to Inuit (and organizations) across Inuit Nunangat or in Canadian urban areas. However, the funds under this program are limited, and priority is given to building research capacity in communities within Inuit Nunangat. Projects led by Inuit in southern urban areas will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Are there people that can help me with my proposal?
Yes! There are many ways to get help for your project or developing your research idea. The first step would be to contact the Inuit Research Advisor for your region, or you can ask for assistance from program coordinators. Contact information is provided here and at the bottom of this page. You can also find tools and resources to help you as you write your proposal on the ArcticNet CFP Resources page.
Will the Inuit Research Advisors (IRAs) write my proposal?
The Inuit Research Advisors are not able to write your proposals; however, they can provide advice and guidance. It is highly recommended that you to talk to them when you are developing your research idea and proposal. They will have important advice.
Can I work with a southern researcher?
There are a lot of southern researchers who have made great connections in working with Inuit communities. They can be important team members for your project. However, this program will only fund projects that are led or co-led by Inuit with the majority of funds going to Inuit communities and organizations.
I am having difficulties with getting a signed engagement form/support letter from the organization supporting our proposal. What are my options?
We understand that it may take considerable time to obtain support documents from the organization supporting your proposed project (for example, if the timeline for writing the proposal does not match up with community or Board meetings when a support letter can be provided). If this is the case with your proposed project, please outline your situation clearly in the proposal form. Please indicate when the document(s) can be expected and what efforts you have made to date in reaching out to appropriate organizations. This program prioritizes funding for projects that are (co)led or supported by community organizations. We can also accept other support documents, such as emails, minutes, Board or council resolutions, etc. If unsure, please contact the IQP program coordinators.
I am having difficulties submitting the proposal. Who should I call?
If you have any problems with submitting your proposal or accessing information about what’s required for a complete proposal, please send an email to IQP@ITK.ca or contact:
- Phone: 1 (613) 238-8181
- Toll-Free (Canada): 1 (866) 262-8181
- Fax: 1 (613) 234-1991
Why did you change the name from Inuit Nunangat Research Program to Inuit Qaujisarnirmut Pilirijjutit?
The Inuit Research Management Committee, which directs the program, felt that having an Inuktut name for an Inuit-run and directed program was relevant in highlighting the uniqueness of the program and promoting Inuit self-determination in Arctic research.
Can I apply for administration fees for my project?
Projects can apply for a maximum of 15% of their total budget in administrative fees.
Can I keep the equipment when the project is over?
The equipment purchased by the project belongs to the supporting organization that receives and manages the funding for the project. The equipment may not belong to individuals. Funding for the IQP is research funding and is to be used for research and to build research capacity. Therefore, after your project ends, the equipment is owned by the supporting organization and it is expected that it be used for future research projects. It will be up to the supporting organization to determine if they would like to lend or give this equipment to another organization or research group.
