• clean technologies
• life sciences and medical devices
• cyber security and other information and communication technologies

funding

successful ontario applicants are eligible to receive up to $300,000 cad or up to 50% of the r&d costs of technology-based products and processes (whichever is less) from the ministry of research and innovation (mri) through ciirdf to fund the ontario portion of each project.

successful israeli applicants are eligible to receive funding from the office of the chief scientist (ocs), the ministry of economy, israel, to support the israel portion of the project under the oicp. the level of funding will be determined by the r&d review committee of the ocs.

i am writing to announce the launch of the 2015 developmental services research grant competition, supported by the ministry of community and social services of the government of ontario. 

the developmental services (ds) research grant fund was created in 2012 to support research and innovative initiatives for the ds sector.  a competitive call for proposals was used to select six projects for funding. 

this is the second call for research proposals.  the ministry is interested in obtaining research proposals on three particular topic areas:

·         funding approaches and practices

·         service models for complex needs clients

·         employment

more detail about the topic areas is provided in the attached documents.

the fund will provide a maximum of $400,000 across all funded projects each of two years to support research in priority areas. projects may be either short-term projects that are less than one year in duration or larger projects that have a duration of up to two years. projects are eligible for varying amounts of funding based on the complexity of the project, the number of research questions identified, the duration of the project and the type of research.

meopar is calling on researchers across canada to submit a proposal for our fourth call for research proposals.  irving shipbuilding is generously contributing $1 million of this $1.5 million call, which will fund a number of multi-year projects that align with meopar’s overall goal of improving canada’s ability to observe, predict, and respond to marine hazards.

we encourage project proposals to develop and/or apply new technologies or approaches to advance environmental observation, safe operations and/or emergency response on canada’s coasts. proposals are required to have practical goals with clear evidence of end-user involvement in the identification of the research topic to be addressed and the formulation, support and conduct of the research itself.

projects must be multi-disciplinary and align with our overall vision/goals as a network of centres of excellence, which are outlined in our strategic plan.  please see our open call for details:
