Call for Proposals 2007-08 for the Search and Rescue New  Initiatives Fund (SAR NIF)
 

The SAR NIF provides funding for new initiatives related to response, prevention and research and development that will enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of SAR activities in Canada.

Initiatives must be supported by either a federal SAR Department/Agency or be part of a provincial/territorial omnibus proposal.     

Under the new terms and conditions for the contribution program in support of the SAR NIF, a single omnibus proposal will be received from each provincial/territorial partner. This omnibus proposal should reflect the provincial/territorial SAR priorities. 

Applicants should consult the government partner with the SAR jurisdictional responsibility related to their proposal to ensure that the initiative is aligned with the SAR partner’s overall priority for SAR and that it supports the National SAR Program Priorities. Details of the application process and procedures for submitting proposals to the SAR NIF are contained in the Applicant’s Guide.
 

Please forward proposals, including omnibus proposals from provinces and territories no later than September 15, 2006, to France Bergeron, A/Director, Coordination, National SAR Secretariat, 4th Floor, 275 Slater Street, Ottawa ON  K1A 0K2.
