About This Opportunity

Alliance International Catalyst Quantum grants provide support for researchers in Canada to establish and grow international research collaborations that will strengthen research excellence in Canada and abroad, and further develop Canadian research strengths and leadership in quantum science and technology. The grants provide up to $25,000 for one year to support Canadian academic researchers in initiating and developing research collaborations with international researchers from the academic sector in the areas of quantum science and quantum technologies. Proposals may address any challenge in quantum science, but their thrust must aim to advance one or more of the National Quantum Strategy missions by advancing research in quantum algorithms/encryption, quantum communications, quantum computing, quantum materials, or quantum sensing. It is expected that up to 40 grants will be awarded. For this call, applications including collaborators from G7 member countries are not accepted; a separate funding opportunity exists for G7 country collaborations.
