| Research Partnerships Programs (RPP) foster collaborations
between university researchers and other sectors, including government and
industry, in order to develop new knowledge and expertise, and to transfer
this knowledge and expertise to Canadian-based organizations. |
| |
| Collaborative Research
and Development (CRD) Grants |
| CRD grants support well-defined projects undertaken by university researchers
and their private-sector partners. CRD awards cover up to half of the total
eligible direct project costs, with the industrial partner(s) providing
the balance in cash and in kind. |
 |
| Idea to Innovation
(I2I) Program |
| The Idea to Innovation program provides funding to university researchers
for research and development activities leading to technology transfer
to a new or established Canadian company. Two distinct funding phases
are proposed; these phases are limited in time and the direct costs of
research in the first phase will be entirely supported by NSERC while
those of the second phase will be shared with a private partner. |
|
Intellectual Property Mobilization (IPM) Program
(formerly called the Intellectual Property Management Program) |
| The IPM program provides funding in partnership with universities, hospitals and colleges to support activities related to managing intellectual property and interacting with industry. Institutions apply in groups for support of initiatives to improve the effectiveness of technology transfer to Canadian industry. |
|
| NSERC/The
Canada Council for the Arts New Media Initiative |
| This joint initiative supports scientists and engineers collaborating
with artists to create novel and synergistic ways of thinking and working
across disciplines, thereby making contributions to both the arts and
industry. |
|
| Research Network
Grants (RNG) |
| The Research Network Grants program funds large-scale, complex research
proposals that involve multi-sectorial collaborations on a common research
theme and that demonstrate the added advantages of a networking approach. |
|
| Research Partnership
Agreements (RPA) |
| The RPA program aims to build strong linkages between the private sector
and researchers in universities and federal institutes and to create synergy
among the partners. |
|
| Strategic
Project Grants (SPG) |
| The Strategic Project Grants program funds project research in targeted areas that could strongly enhance Canada’s economy, society and/or environment within the next ten years. |
Novel Next
Generation Technology Initiative in Energy Research and Technology Related
to Greenhouse Gas Mitigation (GHGM)
|
This initiative, established with Natural Resources Canada, has concluded. The last competition was held in 2005.
|
|
| Technology Partnerships Program |
| This program no longer exists. It has been replaced by the Idea
to Innovation (I2I) Program. |
