Proactive disclosure Print version   | |  Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Program Calls for Proposals
The Climate Change Impacts & Adaptation Program provides funding for targeted research and activities that will contribute to a better understanding of Canada's vulnerabilities to climate change and provide information necessary for the development of adaptation strategies. Details on the goals and scope of the program can be found on the Overview page of the website. The Funding Process The selection of projects to be funded is done in a two-stage process. Stage One: Calls for Letters of Interest Calls for Letters of Interest (LOI) will be issued according to the schedule below. Each Call will contain details on the research topics and guidelines for the preparation of the LOI. All submissions should be prepared using the template provided. LOI are due six weeks from the date that the Call Letter is issued. The LOI will be reviewed by the Impacts and Adaptation Technical Committee. The Committee will request full proposals from only the highest ranked LOI. The number of full proposals requested will vary based on the funding available in the Call and the funding requested in the LOI. Notification of decisions about the Letters of Interest will be provided within 8 weeks of the submission date. Stage Two: Full Proposals Proponents selected to submit a full proposal will be provided with a template and a submission deadline. The full proposals must include a description of the project methodology, work plan, deliverables, budget and supporting documentation related to the expertise of the project team and stakeholder/decision-maker engagement in the project. Full proposals are due 8 weeks from the date of notification. All proposals will undergo external scientific review and review by the Impacts and Adaptation Technical Committee. The highest ranked proposals will be recommended to the Science, Impacts and Adaptation Executive Policy Committee for approval. Proponents will be notified of the decisions on the full proposals within 3 months of the submission deadline.
