Funding, News and Announcements

Under Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan, the Multi-Partner Research Initiative is a five year $30.3 million program that aims to advance Canada’s scientific knowledge and science-based decision making for oil spill response that minimizes the environmental impacts of spills in marine (offshore and near-shore), and onshore freshwater environments.

Natural Resources Canada will provide funding to support collaborative research networks that:

• increase knowledge about the impacts of oil spills on organisms;
• develop new technologies and techniques for clean-up; 
• support science-based decisions that will minimize impacts to the environment and enhance habitat recovery;
• provide opportunities for participation and training of the next generation of oil spill scientists and responders (e.g., students and young professionals);
• involve oil spill responders and decision-makers to ensure practical applicability of research;
• include activities for program synthesis and information transfer; and
• involve active Indigenous participation, where applicable.
