Description: |
The Ontario Research Fund Research Excellence (ORF-RE) program promotes research excellence in Ontario by supporting transformative, internationally significant research of strategic value to the province.
The ORF-RE focuses on scientific excellence, strong commercialization, and strategic value to Ontario, and targets new, leading-edge research initiatives. All proposals are required to provide a rationale as to why an investment in their research project is important to Ontario.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate meaningful and verifiable private sector commitment, through private sector financial/cash and/or in-kind contributions and evidence of the private sector's vested interest in the research. Please demonstrate the strategic value of your research to Ontario (eg. how it provides strategic value in terms of new knowledge, industrial application or potential for economic benefit; how the research will impact society, health, the environment, quality of life or public policy; how its results will strengthen Ontario's economy and/or enhance the province's profile in the global scientific community).
The information provided may be shared with other Ontario ministries, agencies and government-funded not-for-profit corporations for the purpose of strategic value assessment. |
