The purpose of this fund is to build research capacity in New Brunswick via participation in large, multi-jurisdiction applied research projects. These projects have high potential impact, both in and outside of New Brunswick, and involve many partners outside of academia. Some examples include Oceans Supercluster Technology Leadership Proposals, and ACOA Atlantic Innovation Fund grants.
We support these projects at an early stage in order to help you prepare a strong case for other funders (though our funding may be conditional on that success). Our funding is also conditional on a successful peer-review of the project, if a peer-review is not already planned we work with you to arrange this.
