Inaugural Funding Opportunity from NDRIO
The New Digital Research Infrastructure Organization (NDRIO) is pleased to provide preliminary information regarding its upcoming $20M Inaugural Funding Opportunity (IFO). The IFO aims to build national research capacity and deliver on NDRIO’s mandate to create a broad and integrated Canadian digital research infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem. Specifically, the IFO will address the needs of the research community related to DRI, while promoting an equitable and inclusive DRI environment in Canada.
NDRIO seeks to bridge the gap between the three DRI pillars (i.e., Advanced Research Computing, ARC; Research Data Management, RDM; and Research Software, RS). In keeping with NDRIO’s values, the IFO also seeks to build a culture of collaboration and integration across the DRI environment in Canada. Therefore, the IFO will be open to proposals from all research disciplines, and with strong encouragement for inter-provincial collaborations and multi-disciplinary partnerships.
Full description of this Inaugural Funding Opportunity will be provided in the upcoming weeks.
Eligibility:
Canadian post-secondary institutions, research hospitals and/or non-profit organizations eligible for CFI funding can submit proposals as Lead Institution on the project. Federal Government institutions and agencies, as well as Provincial or Municipal organizations, and non-profits involved in research, will be able to participate as project collaborators.
Value and Duration:
The Inaugural Funding Opportunity will offer two streams of funding for projects ranging from 12 to 18 months:
