Description: |
Phase IIb proposals with a Canadian company are expected to be completed within two years and funding requested should not exceed $350,000 for the duration of the project. NSERC may fund up to half the cost of the project, with the company providing the other half through a combination of cash and in-kind contributions. Each case will be evaluated on its merits; however, it is expected that the cash component should equal at least 40 per cent of the amount requested from NSERC.
The industrial partner must have, or be able to acquire by the end of the project, the technical capability to undertake any further development necessary to take the product or process to market. The company receiving the technology should be prepared to carry out the preliminary market study, product/process development, engineering, and sales and marketing planning required to establish that a technology is viable, and to enter the market successfully. The industrial partner must have, or be able to acquire by the end of the project, the technical capability to undertake any further development necessary to take the product or process to market. Please see NSERC's website for detailed application information. |
