Innovation and Science Fund
Mandate
The Innovation and Science Fund (ISF) will provide funding to
Saskatchewan universities, colleges and research institutes in
support of projects receiving approval and funding from the Canada
Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Canada Research Chairs (CRC),
the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF), and
the provincial portion of the Medical Research Council Regional
Partnership Program (MRCRPP), or its successor under the newly
established Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR).
Objectives
The ISF is designed to:
- promote excellence in research at our post-secondary institutions
and associated non-profit research institutes;
- promote research and development partnerships among post-secondary
institutions, governments, and the private sector;
- lever federal research funding for Saskatchewan by ensuring
that our institutions are able to effectively compete in
national research funding competitions;
- improve the province's ability to attract and retain high
quality scientists and researchers;
- promote economic growth and quality of life through innovation
and research; and develop Saskatchewan's human capital and
innovative capacity.
Application Process
Proponents are required to submit an application and necessary
attachments outlining the project description, expected outputs,
deliverables, benefits, costs and expected sources of funding
over the life of the initiative. Notices of intent will not
