Description: |
The grants program for the Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) program is a federal mechanism designed to support the operation of research and/or commercialization centres that bring together people, services and research infrastructure to position Canada at the forefront of breakthrough innovations in priority areas. In the context of the CECR program, commercialization is defined as everything a firm does that transforms knowledge and technology into new goods, processes or services to satisfy market demands. Centres advancing to Stage II will develop full project proposals, including complete information on the Centre and its intended operations, funding requirements, the partnerships among supporters, their duties and respective contributions, and the expected research and commercialization outcomes and benefits of the project. All partnership arrangements, contributions and allocations of benefits (such as intellectual property) among parties must be fully described for a proposal to be considered complete.
Please see agency guidelines for detail submission instructions. |
