Applications for the continuation of a research project funded through the POP Phase I grant must progress from Phase I to Phase II. The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to: Provide the opportunity to determine the potential for commercial viability and other opportunities for use of IP; Provide the opportunity to enhance and strengthen the value of IP (or IP portfolio); Improve the institution and/or researcher's business prospects and potential for downstream investments on the IP; Promote academic health research and technology transfer activities that support and accelerate commercialization of IP; Support the application of health research results to improve the health of Canadians. |
