Partnership Engage Grants are expected to respond to the objectives of Research partnerships program.
These grants provide short-term and timely support for partnered research activities that will inform decision-making at a single partner organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector. The small-scale, stakeholder-driven partnerships supported through Partnership Engage Grants are meant to respond to immediate needs and time constraints facing organizations in non-academic sectors. In addressing an organization-specific need, challenge and/or opportunity, these partnerships let non-academic organizations and postsecondary researchers access each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on topics of mutual interest.

Eligibility:

Only one Canadian or international organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sector can be involved as a partner organization. Postsecondary institutions and scholarly associations are not eligible as partner organizations. Organizations collaborating with postsecondary institutions (e.g., a network) can be considered eligible as long as they are a separate entity from the postsecondary institution (i.e., a stand-alone organization in the not-for-profit, private or public sector). The partner organization must be at arm’s length (independent) from the academic institution and the applicant.
