Description

The goal of the NCE-KM initiative is to further the application and mobilization of world-class research to benefit end users by supporting networking and collaboration between well-established research teams and knowledge users.  The NCE-KM initiative will fund knowledge mobilization and related networking activities (networking costs, network administration, etc.). NCE-KM funds may not be used to support research.

Funding Availability

Successful networks will be awarded up to $400,000 per year for four years with a possible three-year extension.

Deadlines

If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
