We would like to thank all researchers who applied for funding from the Strategic Initiatives Grant. The program is now closed for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
ResearchNB is proud to offer a range of funding programs available throughout the year. One of the programs currently open is the Strategic Opportunities Fund. The purpose of this fund is to build research capacity in New Brunswick via participation in large, multi-jurisdiction applied research projects. These projects have high potential impact, both in and outside of New Brunswick, and involve many partners outside of academia. Some examples include Oceans Supercluster Technology Leadership Proposals, and ACOA Atlantic Innovation Fund grants.
