Description: |
CU I2I Grants are intended to support college and university participation in the improvement or extension of existing company technology or commercial products, processes and/or services. Commercialization projects that seek to capitalize on academic background intellectual property should seek support from NSERC?s Idea to Innovation Grants or the Canadian Institutes of Health Research?s Proof of Principle program. CU?I2I Grants can be up to $250,000 per year for both the college and university participants combined. The maximum grant for either participant is $125,000. Company partner contributions can be matched at a maximum level of 1:1 for both the college and university participants (e.g., if the company partner contribution is $100,000, NSERC will leverage this contribution with a maximum of $100,000 for the college participants and $100,000 for the university participants). The leverage ratio cannot exceed 1:1 for either institution, and the award amounts to the institutions do not have to be equal. Distribution of funds may vary from year to year. |
