Description:

ISTPCanada and GITA invite Canadian and Indian participants to submit proposals for cooperative research and development projects.

This Ontario (Canada)-India program aims to foster and support the development of collaborative R&D projects that bring together companies, research organizations, academics and other collaborators from both countries for the joint development of innovative products or processes. Each proposal must include an eligible lead from Ontario (Canada) and India. Although it is not mandatory, projects that engage a technology developer and a technology end-user/first customer are strongly encouraged.Applicants are required to meet all of the following criteria when applying for funding under this CFP.

Application Details:

The guidelines address the issues that are relevant to innovation, commercialization and the successful execution of the project and future commercialization of the product. The collaborative R&D proposal process includes the submission of an EOI and a full proposal.

As a first step, applicants are required to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to ISTPCanada and GITA on, or before, January 21st, 2011, midnight EST. The Canadian and Indian R&D project leads are required to submit a single, joint EOI using the template provided by ISTPCanada and GITA for this purpose. EOIs that do not use the approved template will not be accepted. Upon completion, applicants must e-mail (only one joint submission with signatures required for both Ontario (Canada) and India applicants) the completed EOI as a word document and as a signed PDF to ISTPCanada-GITA@canada-india-proposals.org by January 21st, 2011, midnight EST. This will ensure that the EOI is delivered to both ISTPCanada and GITA for review.
