oce-cengn next generation networks r&td challenge

how to apply: 

ontario centres of excellence (oce) and the centre of excellence in next generation networks (cengn) are supporting collaborative research and technology development (r & td) projects by ontario companies and academic research partners through oce’s voucher for industry association r&d challenge program.

cengn, canada's centre of excellence in next generation networks, is a consortium of industry, academic and research leaders dedicated to accelerating the commercialization of next generation communications solutions. cengn founding members include: alcatel-lucent, allstream, bti systems, cisco, ewa canada, exfo, invest ottawa, jdsu, juniper, mistral ventures, rogers and telus.  cengn is an independent and internationally recognized testing center employing interoperability amongst multiple software and hardware products. cengn’s state-of-the-art physical and virtual multi-vendor, test, certification and validation platform provides a unique environment to commercialize advanced products, applications and services.

the next generation networks r&td challenge is a $2.1 million initiative supporting areas of technology that are strategically important to the network technologies and applications sector in ontario. the program is intended to accelerate commercialization for smes in this sector through collaboration with ontario academic institutions, leading to significant economic benefit for ontario (jobs, revenues, etc.).

how funding works

through this via program, oce and cengn will identify up to 10 eligible projects led by cengn industry members, which include ontario smes and require collaborative participation from ontario academic institutions. oce will identify potential academic collaborators for the selected projects. the selected academic researchers, in partnership with the project industry leads, will submit funding proposals to oce. qualified projects will address one or more strategic technology focus areas: 

  • software defined networks (sdn), network function virtualization (nfv), sd wan
  • internet of things
  • data centre or cloud
  • network transport
  • security
  • network applications
  • network mobility
  • cengn common platform

oce will provide funding of up to $50,000 per project (up to two years in length). to qualify for oce funding, the industry partner(s) must provide a minimum of 1:1 matching cash contribution, plus in-kind contribution. an additional $25,000 cash contribution per project will be provided by cengn [i.e.  for a $50,000 oce contribution, the matching contributions would consist of $50,000 cash and $85,000 in-kind (average) from the industry partner(s), and $25,000 cash from cengn]. oce funds will flow to the academic partner to support eligible expenses; the cengn and industry partner funds will remain with the industry partner to support expenses directly associated with the oce-funded project.

explore program

eligibility: 

for each research application submitted in this program:

  • the disruptive potential impact of the project on biopharmaceutical research will be considered a priority
  • the program is widely open to the research community 
  • the research could be performed at universities or affiliated research institutions, hospitals or academic research institutions, small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) from the private sector (including smes in the field of life sciences, biotechnologies, biopharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostics, engineering, imaging or contract research organizations (cros))
  • multinational pharmaceutical companies are not eligible to receive funding through the explore program
  • federally-supported research entities (i.e., nrc, nces, bl-nces, cecrs, etc.) are not eligible to receive funding through the explore program 
  • the research must be performed in the provinces of quebec and/or ontario
  • please note that in contrast to the previous cqdm focus and quebec/ontario programs:
    • public/private partnerships and/or partnerships between quebec and ontario investigators are not required, and;
    • single laboratories/institutions/companies are eligible and encouraged to apply
- see more at: http://oce-ontario.org/programs/industry-academic-collaboration/explore/...
how to apply: 

the cqdm explore program is widely opened to the scientific community of quebec and ontario. cqdm and ontario centres of excellence (oce) are working collaboratively to launch the 2015 explore competition which aims to support unconventional and highly innovative research projects that could strongly impact the drug discovery process.explore is designed to fund early concept validation of cutting-edge technologies, computational tools, novel approaches, techniques and devices that address the most crucial needs in drug discovery and/or development. 

the ultimate goal of the explore funding program is to challenge the established practices in the drug r&d process. projects funded by this program must have the potential for a breakthrough discovery that have the potential to radically transform the current paradigm or conventional wisdom. research projects that result only in incremental improvements over the existing state of the art will not be considered in this funding program.

while no preliminary data is necessary, the rationale behind the application must be very strong and the applicants must clearly demonstrate how the scientific approach will be validated. the projects may indicate a higher level of uncertainty or exploration, as long as they address well-identified and crucial industrial bottlenecks of the drug r&d process.

2015 explore competition information session:

monday, july 13, 2015 (1:30pm-3:00pm)
156 front street west, suite 200, toronto on 

if interested in attending in person, you must register in advance. registration will be capped and handled on a first-come-first-served basis.  to register, please send an email to sharon sukhdeo sharon.sukhdeo@oce-ontario.org with your name, organization, and contact details.
