IC-IMPACTS Call for Proposals on Food Security
Eligibility:
Projects must show excellence in research and have the following additional elements:
FOR STREAM 1:
- A Canadian PI (applicant). The project must also identify an Indian university collaborating PI. Since this is an exploratory grant, this is an opportunity for the Canadian team to start developing linkages with Indian teams.
- HQP involvement (graduate students, postdocs or research associates).
FOR STREAM 2:
- In addition to those mentioned above, must also include an industry partner either from Canada or from India.
- Include a support letter from the industry partner, stating their commitment to the project by providing in-kind support.
- Cash support from the industry partner is strongly recommended but not mandatory
- A support letter from the community or demonstration site where technology will be installed.
- Be tailored to meet the needs of the market within which deployment is taking place to ensure successful uptake (i.e. complexity, maintenance and price-point).
How to Apply:
The primary purpose is to fund early career researchers to a one-year grant to explore collaborative opportunities with their Indian counterparts. The funds are related to developing solutions to our pressing problems of food insecurity. Both Research (STREAM 1) and Demonstration Projects (STREAM 2) will be funded.
Please contact Jill Sherman, International Research Facilitator, at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca if this program is of interest.
