Terms of use

Use Local TCV as a drafting aid

By using this site, you acknowledge that it provides educational and editorial assistance only. You remain responsible for your application, evidence, wording, and compliance with current funding-opportunity instructions.

Independent resource

Local TCV is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, the Government of Canada, or the institutions and projects listed in the acknowledgements. It does not provide legal, privacy, grant-writing, academic-integrity, or funding advice.

AI-generated drafts can be wrong

Local models can omit facts, misread relationships, invent plausible wording, and produce weak or biased prose. Verify every name, date, role, quantity, outcome, authorship claim, mentorship statement, and impact claim. Remove or resolve every [EVIDENCE NEEDED] marker before submission.

Do not use generated text to misrepresent your contribution or another person’s work. Follow the funding opportunity’s policies on generative AI and research integrity.

Official requirements control

Agency templates, page limits, formatting rules, appendices, participant requirements, and guidance can change. If this site differs from an official source, the official source and the specific funding opportunity control. Local TCV does not submit applications or guarantee eligibility, compliance, review scores, or funding outcomes.

Availability and warranty

The site is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, model compatibility, or preservation of browser-stored data. Browser updates, device limitations, third-party hosts, or model changes may affect operation.
