Application Details: |
The Organic Science Cluster is intended to provide coordinated research serving the strategic needs of the organic sector. In a highly competitive environment for research funds, it is critical that the research has impact and as such is supported by industry collaborators. It is viewed that a close relationship between industry sponsors of research and the scientists greatly increases the likelihood that the research will be relevant and the results will be disseminated with impact.At this stage, the details relating to the matching funding requirement for the Cluster program will not be known until the funding agency has released its guidelines in the summer. At this stage we are requesting that researchers submitting an Activity proposal must identify matching funding of 33% (minimum of 18% as cash, maximum of 15% in-kind) of the total Activity budget from non-government sources.
Please review the LOI guidelines for all details. |

Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline.
