Description: |
The CQDM/Brain Canada Partnership's "Focus on Brain" program is a major funding opportunity, which is open to multidisciplinary research teams linking Quebec and other Canadian researchers, and the academic and small and medium-sized enterprise ("SME") sectors. Through this program we expect to identify, fund, and support the development of breakthrough technologies that enhance biopharmaceutical R&D productivity and accelerate the development of new, safe and effective drugs for disorders of the brain and nervous system. This program is focused on multi?disciplinary and collaborative efforts between academic institutions
and SMEs. To be eligible for funding, research must be performed in Canada. Proposals must meet the following requirements: Applications must be from a team of two or more eligible investigators located in two or more provinces. At least one co?principal investigator must be located in the province of Quebec.Although not mandatory, we strongly encourage collaborations between SMEs and the academic sector. |
