partnership engage grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the insight program and the connection program. they provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. the small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships supported through the partnership engage grants are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. in addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships let non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.

the  belmont forum is a high-level group of the world’s major and emerging funders of global environmental change research and international science councils. it aims to accelerate delivery of the international environmental research most urgently needed to remove critical barriers to sustainability by aligning and mobilizing international resources. the aims of the belmont forum are detailed in a  white paper, and encapsulated as the belmont challenge: “to deliver knowledge needed for action to mitigate and adapt to detrimental environmental change and extreme hazardous events.”

in order to make progress against the belmont challenge and help deliver international collaboration, the belmont forum agreed to develop collaborative research actions (cras). the principles of the cras are to:

• address the belmont challenge priorities (i.e., societally relevant global environmental change challenges);
• lever belmont forum members’ existing investments through international added value;
• bring together new partnerships of natural scientists, social scientists and users.

the genomic applications partnership program (gapp) funds downstream research and development (r&d) projects that address real world opportunities and challenges identified by industry, government, not-for-profits and other “receptors” of genomics knowledge and technologies.

gapp projects are collaborations between academic researchers and receptor organizations. they are co-funded by receptors and other stakeholders, and have the potential to generate significant social and/or economic benefits for canada.

the gapp aims to:

• accelerate the application of canadian genomics-derived solutions to real-world opportunities and challenges defined by industry and public sector receptors.
• channel canada’s genomics capacity into sustainable innovations that benefit canadians.
• enhance the value of canadian genomics technologies by de-risking and incentivizing follow-on investment from industry and other partners.
• foster mutually beneficial collaboration and knowledge exchange between canadian academia and technology receptors.
