Funding, News and Announcements

IC-IMPACTS is seeking project proposals in three categories of projects in the deployment-ready stage of development, related to IC-IMPACTS themes on safe and sustainable infrastructure, integrated water management and public health and disease prevention.

The objectives of the IC-IMPACTS Innovation Demonstration Initiative (IDI) are to:

• Encourage the transfer of technology and knowledge resulting from India-Canada research and technology development partnerships;
  
• Foster Canada-India collaborative research and trade development activities;
  
• Demonstrate the effectiveness of innovative technologies for the Canadian and Indian marketplace;
  
• Improve the health, safety and prosperity of communities through the introduction of new technologies in Canada and/or India;
  
• Improve Canada-India economic ties 

Projects may be of a duration of up to, but not exceeding, 24 months and may include some research for technology refinement on the basis of outcomes from technology deployment. As the focus of this call is deployment of technologies rather than research development, most proponents submitting a demonstration project proposal are expected to submit budget requests under $25,000.
