Call for proposals: Advancing the industrial readiness of quantum sensing technologies
NSERC and the NRC are partnering to launch the present Alliance Quantum grants call for proposals to strengthen Canada’s quantum research and innovation capacity in quantum sensing and advance the development and application of technologies in this domain for the benefit of Canadians. The NRC is participating through the QSP and CSTIP.
Support provided through this joint initiative will reinforce, coordinate and scale up Canada’s domestic research capabilities in quantum sensing science and technology through partnerships between university researchers, for-profit small- or medium-sized enterprises federally or provincially/territorially incorporated in Canada (referred to as Canadian SMEs), the NRC, and other organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.
Your proposal may address any challenges in quantum science or engineering, but its thrust must aim to advance the third of the NQS missions: Enable the Government of Canada and key industries to be developers and early adopters of new quantum sensing technologies.
Projects considered as part of this call for proposals should be associated with a technology readiness level (TRL) in the range 3-6, address a need in the quantum sensing ecosystem, and fall under one of the NRC’s current QSP areas of focus:
- Quantum photonics
- Chip-based quantum systems
- Quantum metrology
- Collaborations that synergistically couple any of these quantum sensing areas to other research topics in the natural sciences and engineering would be accepted.
See NSERC’s website for more details.
Applications will be accepted until 8 pm (Eastern Time) on June 14, 2024. If you have any questions, please contact alliance_quantumquantique@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.
