Description: |
The goal of this pilot funding opportunity is to support a partnership between a postsecondary research entity and one or more federal government departments to establish a long-term research program focusing on specific topics in an area of importance to Canada and public decision-makers. At least one partner organization must be a Canadian federal government department. Other partner organizations can be Canadian or international institutions or organizations (public, private, not-for-profit) of any type, including provincial or municipal government departments. This pilot funding opportunity targets research that supports and informs public policy aimed at boosting Canada?s productivity.
Applicants are invited to propose a long-term research program with high potential to inform policy-making in this area. A range of research topics directly related to policies driving efficiency gains for Canadian companies is welcome, including, for example, technology adoption, innovation and commercialization, firm investment decisions, workforce skills gaps, competitive intensity, the regulatory environment, supply chain management, scalability, monetary and fiscal policy, and managing through economic disruptions, among others. |
