The Innovation Impact Program supports Alberta institutions by funding research infrastructure, equipment, applied research, and technology development. It offers up to 40% of eligible project costs on a cost-shared basis alongside Canada Foundation for Innovation and partner contributions. Four funding streams target innovation tools, applied solutions, innovation hubs, and exceptional opportunities, with eligibility varying by stream and deadlines differing accordingly.
Eligibility depends on the funding stream and includes Alberta universities, colleges, polytechnics, research hospitals, and non-profit research institutions recognized by CFI. Exceptional Opportunities require program approval and pre-application discussion.
