Memorial Deadline: Inquire with RGCS
External Deadline: Friday 13th, April 2018
Description
As the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces implement Canada’s new defence policy – Strong, Secure, Engaged – the Defence Engagement Program will conduct a trial over the next year to help assess ways to channel the expert community’s knowledge into the Department through collaborative networks.
To this end, we are looking for individuals or organizations that are engaged, dynamic, resourceful and interested in working in close collaboration with our team to help determine the best model for the network.
The construct should be able to bring together multidisciplinary teams from different parts of the country – and abroad – to work on challenges identified by the Department.
This opportunity is open to multidisciplinary teams with interest in the domain of security and defence studies. Applicants must submit a detailed proposal outlining their network concept. The application format is left to the discretion of the candidates.
The trial network must focus its efforts in supporting a departmental policy priority as identified at: http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/training-paid-education/priorities.page
The selected proposal will receive a total of $100,000 in funding, divided in two separate grants of $50,000 over a year.
The deadline for proposals is 13 April 2018. Initial funding will be dispensed in May 2018 and the second tranche will be provided later in 2018.
