Description: |
All subject areas may apply. Funded annually by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International Relations), the Western Innovation Fund is intended to move new research results forward along the path towards commercialization and to provide incentive to validate and develop commercial opportunities. The competitions are for one-time projects based on existing research initiatives and are expected to be of short duration (6 - 12 months). Projects are expected to bridge the gap between research results and existing proof of principle grants such as the CIHR POP or the NSERC i2i programs. The applicant will have to demonstrate the need in the marketplace, as well as a method to meet that need, i.e. a marketing plan. General conditions governing eligibility to apply, supportable research fields, and use of grant funds will be in conformity with Tri-Council guidelines. |
