Researchers!
Join us for a FREE information session to learn about the NEW Greenfield Research and Innovation Fund.
This funding is open to all sectors and will build on applied research (AR) and strengthen our regional partnerships to respond to the health, economic and environmental crises brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change. College researchers will lead these multi-partnered initiatives in collaboration with the private sector, public sector, or not-for-profit organizations based in Canada while encouraging partnerships with universities and other colleges.
In association with regional partners, the Greenfield Research and Innovation (R&I) Fund will develop impactful programs that engage underrepresented communities in research and provide enhanced training to students and emerging researchers (ER).
