Applicants are expected to demonstrate meaningful and verifiable private sector commitment, through private sector financial/cash and/or in-kind contributions and evidence of the private sector's vested interest in the research. While research proposals in all disciplines are eligible for ORF-RE Round 5, the Ministry particularly encourages collaborative projects across institutions and disciplines from the following focus areas, outlined in the Ontario Innovation Agenda: Bio-economy and clean technologies, Advanced Health technologies, Digital Media & Information & Communications Technologies. |
