College Fund | Canada Foundation for Innovation

none

Value

Colleges can submit proposals with total CFI requests of between $60,000 and $1 million.

Description

The College Fund supports projects that enhance the capacity of Canadian colleges to carry out applied research and technology development and foster partnerships that generate innovative products, processes or services that address the social, business, health or environmental needs of a Canadian industry or community.

Eligible Applicants

Canadian colleges recognized as eligible to receive funding from the CFI can apply to this competition. If your institution is already eligible, make sure your institutional agreement with the CFI is up to date before you submit a proposal.

Institutions that are not currently eligible must provide the necessary documentation to become eligible no later than July 9 before the proposal deadline. Email us at eligibility@ innovation.ca to find out more about the process and supporting documents required to apply for institutional eligibility.

Eligible Expenses

An eligible infrastructure project involves acquiring or developing research infrastructure to enhance existing applied research or technology development capacity. Eligible costs are described in section 4.6 of our Policy and program guide.

The research infrastructure must be used to carry out applied research or technology development activities with public, private or not-for-profit partners. It may be used for training purposes only in cases where the training is linked to an applied research or technology development program.

We expect that research computing resources funded through the College Fund and which cost more than $100,000 will
typically, be housed, managed and operated by the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance). Consult with the Alliance if you are planning to request advanced research computing infrastructure. Visit the Alliance’s website for information on their
established process for facilitating collaboration with institutions.

To be eligible for funding, research infrastructure expenditures and in-kind contributions must either be forthcoming or have taken place no more than 12 months before the proposal submission deadline. We consider expenditures incurred once goods are received, services have been rendered, or work has been performed.

Deadline Date

Proposals for this funding program are due every September 17.
