Grant Amount:
Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Mar 28, 2016
Sponsor's: Apr 04, 2016

Subject Areas: Commercialization
Description: Market Assessment projects are designed to enable institutions to do a market study for a product, process or technology they plan to develop. Understanding market potential is crucial when developing a new technology. The Market Assessment funding option is a tool to help identify industry and market issues. It can be used to better position a proposed technology in an I2I application (to provide the reviewers with a better understanding of the market for a given technology) or identify the appropriate NSERC program.

Application Details: The market assessment should precede a Phase I proposal, if the applicant and ILO have not yet developed an understanding of the potential market. In certain instances, like development of a platform technology, requests for a market assessment can be submitted as a standalone proposal at the same time as a Phase I application.
NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
