Funding supports lab maintenance, equipment, access to knowledge resources, research management, administrative support including equity and compliance, and knowledge transfer. Eligibility is based on recent tri-agency funding and notification by TIPS.
Eligible applicants are Canadian degree- or diploma-granting postsecondary institutions authorized by provincial or territorial governments, that have received tri-agency research funding in the past three fiscal years and are notified by TIPS.
