As part of Strong, Secure, Engaged: Canada’s Defence Policy, the Department of National Defence (DND) has launched the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Program. The IDEaS Program supports, increases and sustains science and technology (S&T) community capacity external to DND that can generate new ideas and formulate solutions to Canada’s current and future defence and security Innovation Challenges.
The Government of Canada through IDEas program invite Call for Proposals (CFP) to support Canada’s defence, security and public safety in response to the significant and rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). DND is looking for novel ideas and innovative solutions to resolve S&T challenges under the following areas:
- Rapid Response: Real-time insights for pandemic decision-making
- Scrubbing your scrubs: Finding ways to re-use COVID-19 protective gear
- Super sanitize: Cleaning sensitive equipment and workspaces
