Grant Application Terms

These Grant Application Terms apply to any person or organization that accesses, completes, or submits a grant application through www.eradicatecancer.ca (the “Site”).

By starting or submitting a grant application, you agree to these Grant Application Terms.

Purpose of the Application Form

The grant application form is provided to allow eligible applicants to request consideration for funding or support under the applicable program described on the Site.

Submission of an application does not guarantee:

  • eligibility
  • review
  • shortlisting
  • an interview
  • follow-up contact
  • funding
  • any minimum amount of funding
  • continuation of a program or intake process

Eligibility

Applicants are responsible for reviewing and complying with all eligibility criteria, deadlines, instructions, and program requirements stated on the Site or otherwise communicated by us.

We may reject or decline to consider any application that is incomplete, inaccurate, late, ineligible, duplicative, non-responsive, or inconsistent with the stated program requirements.

Accuracy and Authority

By submitting an application, you represent and warrant that:

  • the information provided is true, accurate, current, and complete to the best of your knowledge
  • you are authorized to submit the application on your own behalf or on behalf of the organization or individual identified in the application
  • your submission does not infringe third-party rights or violate any law
  • any supporting material provided may lawfully be shared with us for review

Minors and Authorized Representatives

If an applicant is under the age of majority or otherwise requires a parent, guardian, or authorized representative to act on their behalf, the application must be submitted by or with the authorization of that responsible adult or representative.

We may request proof of authority, age, guardianship, or representation where reasonably necessary.

Personal Information and Sensitive Content

Applications may contain personal information and, depending on the program, may include sensitive information. By submitting an application, you consent to our collection, use, storage, and disclosure of that information for grant administration, evaluation, due diligence, recordkeeping, legal compliance, and related operational purposes, in accordance with our Privacy Policy and any more specific notice presented with the application.

Applicants should provide only information reasonably necessary for the application and should avoid including unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive third-party information unless requested and authorized.

Review Process

We may review applications internally and may share applications or portions of them with:

  • staff
  • advisors
  • evaluators
  • reviewers
  • committee members
  • professional service providers assisting with administration or review

All review decisions are made in our discretion, subject to the applicable program rules.

No Obligation to Fund

We are under no obligation to approve any application, provide reasons for a decision, reconsider a decision, or award any funding.

Funding decisions, if any, may depend on eligibility, merit, available resources, due diligence, alignment with program priorities, legal requirements, and other factors determined in our discretion.

Follow-Up Information

We may request additional information, clarification, interviews, references, verification materials, or supporting documents at any stage of the review process. Failure to provide requested information in the required timeframe may result in rejection or closure of the application.

Deadlines and Technical Issues

Applicants are responsible for submitting materials before any stated deadline.

We are not responsible for:

  • internet interruptions
  • browser or device issues
  • failed uploads
  • email delivery failures
  • incompatibility with third-party systems
  • submission errors outside our control

We recommend retaining copies of all submitted materials.

Intellectual Property in Submitted Materials

Applicants retain ownership of their original application materials except to the extent rights belong to another party.

By submitting materials, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, store, review, and share the materials as reasonably necessary to administer, assess, audit, and document the application and any resulting grant relationship.

No Confidential Relationship Beyond Review Purposes

While we will handle submissions in accordance with our privacy and operational practices, submission of an application does not by itself create a fiduciary, agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or other special legal relationship.

Unless specifically agreed in writing, do not submit proprietary or confidential information that you do not wish to be reviewed, stored, or shared for application evaluation purposes.

Withdrawal and Closure

You may request withdrawal of an application before a final decision is made, subject to any legal, audit, reporting, or record-retention requirements.

We may close, suspend, or terminate an application process or program at any time, including after submission, without liability, to the extent permitted by law.

Successful Applicants

If an application is approved, the applicant may be required to enter into a separate grant agreement, release, reporting arrangement, or funding letter. Any award will remain conditional until all required documents are completed and accepted.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss, cost, damage, lost opportunity, or consequential harm arising from or related to an application, non-selection, delay, system failure, program change, or cancellation of a funding opportunity.

Governing Law

These Grant Application Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
