FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Looking for more information?
Can New Brunswick community colleges apply to the CFI JELF Matching Fund?
At this time, we are not accepting community college applications in this program.
We recommend you submit an application to the Expression of Interest Program and if there is alignment with one of the priority sectors, we will accept an application to the Priority Sectors Development Fund.
Does every project need to align with the priority sectors listed on the ResearchNB website? The website lists Health, Energy, Forestry, Oceans, and Agriculture, but there are also Advanced Manufacturing, ICT, and Data & AI included in the portal application?
Advanced Manufacturing, ICT, and Data & AI are enabling platforms that support and enhance advancement within the priority sectors. While some funding programs don’t require direct alignment with these sectors, they do require a demonstrated impact on New Brunswick. Within these funding programs, projects that don’t directly address a priority area will be evaluated equally, as long as the impact on New Brunswick is clearly outlined in the application.
