Calls for LOIS
Call for LOIs coming soon
Due date: TBD​
Notes on eligibility and funding:
-
Projects are expected to leverage WRC dollars to the greatest extent possible. Priority is given to highly leveraged, cross-disciplinary projects.
-
Projects are required to apply for NSERC funding. Projects not pursuing NSERC funding must provide a strong rationale for not doing so. Seeking funding from additional sources, such as MITACs and/or industry partners, is also encouraged.
-
WRC has NSERC matchable and non-matchable funds. Budgets should indicate the amount of WRC dollars needed to match the NSERC request.
Example:
Total project budget = $260,000
​
Funding sources
​
NSERC = $140,000
Other Sources = $20,000
WRC matchable = $70,000
WRC non-matchable = $30,000
​
-
Please factor in 10% of the total budget to be allocated to WRC operations and research administration
-
Suggested total grant maximum of 100K, but WRC may consider higher requests with strong justification.
​
​
WRC anticipates funding 6 projects per year going forward. This year, we have additional funding support through our partners that we will be able to leverage to support additional or larger projects.
