About This Opportunity

Alliance Advantage grants (formerly Alliance cost-sharing option 1) are partner-driven projects that support research focused on partners' goals, with at least one partner sharing in the costs of research. These grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with private, public or not-for-profit sector organizations to generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada. Research supported by Alliance Advantage grants will generate new knowledge and/or technology to address complex challenges, create economic, environmental and/or other societal benefits, contribute to Canada's long-term competitiveness, support public policy, train new researchers in areas important to Canada and partner organizations, and draw on diverse perspectives and skill sets to accelerate the translation and application of research results.
