Targeted Engagement Grants

MINDS supports the development and provision of timely, relevant and well-rounded policy advice based on insights from the expert community to better anticipate and understand potential threats to Canada and Canadian interests.

The Targeted Engagement Grant Program provides non-recurring financial support, up to a maximum of $50,000 to fund projects such as conferences, roundtables, workshops, research, and publications. There are two competitions every year, generally in the Spring and Fall.

Requests for funding are assessed primarily on relevance to DND/CAF defence policy challenges, the use of Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+), as well as innovation and the creative use technology.
