DEADLINE PASSED: 2022 Transition Pathways – Research Funding Opportunity

The Transition Accelerator is looking to collaborate with researchers across the country interested in developing transformational pathways to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. To this end, we will be awarding small grants to support pathways scoping studies.

We seek submissions for projects that can help define credible, compelling, and capable pathways across Canada. These can be local, sub-regional, or regional in scope, and should be anchored in the Accelerator’s pathways methodology.  

There is no formal application form, but the applicants will need to submit a short project proposal by Monday, May 2, 2022.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants must be affiliated with a Canadian university, research institution or thinktank. Applications may involve investigators at more than one institution. The principal investigator must not already have received funding from the Transition Accelerator. Projects may involve societal partners.

LEVEL OF FUNDING

Up to three proposals will be selected and awarded a maximum of $20,000 each. We regard these scoping studies as an entry point to potential long-term collaboration with The Transition Accelerator to fully develop novel pathways. The Accelerator will be open to working with teams involved with successful projects to secure long term funding to support larger initiatives. Successful grantees may leverage the Accelerator’s funding with Mitacs funding, if eligible.
