=== Business Process Harmonization (BPH) Project ===

The existing grants management systems used by the three federal granting agencies (NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR) operate on dated technology and are limited in their ability to adapt to the changing needs of both the research community and the agencies themselves.  As a result, the agencies have embarked on a project to modernize their grants management system to better support applicants, administrators, and reviewers during the grants management lifecycle, referred to as the Tri-agency Grants Management Solution (TGMS). Prior to implementation, there is a need to validate and gather information on how the system will be used. There is also an opportunity to harmonize some areas across the agency to allow for a more user-friendly experience. These parts form the Business Process Harmonization (BPH) project which the Innovation Hub is currently leading within NSERC. It is discussed below.
