Note: A Notification of Intent to Apply is mandatory for this program – due August 1, 2017
The objective of the Subatomic Physics Major Resources Support (SAP-MRS) Program is to facilitate the effective access by Canadian academic researchers, working in the field of subatomic physics, to major and unique national or international (based in Canada) experimental or thematic research resources by financially assisting these resources to remain in a state of readiness for researchers to use. SAP-MRS grants are not intended to support resources that are standard in a discipline or commonly available in Canadian universities. The SAP-MRS Program also aims to facilitate access by Canadian academic subatomic researchers, who come together as national consortia, to major international resources located outside Canada, the equivalent of which is not available in Canada. This support is intended to enable access by researchers from more than one project, and it excludes any direct financial support towards the operating and maintenance costs of such resources.
Research resources are defined as experimental research facilities or thematic research organizations such as institutes. An institute is defined as a research resource that promotes and triggers national, and possibly international, interactions within a given research community and provides a place where researchers meet, collaborate and exchange ideas. Institutes are infrastructures that provide an environment that serves to accelerate research.
