Description
RIS will be offering support with application development for this opportunity. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) or Dr. Amanda Crompton (ajcrompt@mun.ca) early during the development process to discuss the services available to them.
Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.
Alliance Advantage grants (formerly Alliance cost-sharing option 1) are for partner-driven projects. They fund projects focused on the partners’ goals, with at least one partner sharing in the costs of research. Research supported by Alliance Advantage grants will:
- – generate new knowledge and/or technology to address complex challenges
- – create economic, environmental and/or other societal benefits
- – contribute to Canada’s long-term competitiveness
- – support public policy
- – train new researchers in areas that are important to Canada and partner organizations
- – draw on diverse perspectives and skill sets to accelerate the translation and application of research results
For projects with societal impact as the main driver (formerly cost-sharing option 2), see Alliance Society.
