The Government of Canada has launched the applications for Targeted Engagement Grant Program to drive innovation in defense policy thinking and to foster the next generation of defense and security experts.
The Government of Canada is proud to support the exchange of ideas and a diversity of researchers in the domain of security and defence. New forward thinking research and activities are extremely valuable for National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces in the development of evidence-based policy.
Funding Information
The Targeted Engagement Grant Program provides non-recurring financial support, up to a maximum of $50,000 to fund projects such as conferences, roundtables, workshops, research, and publications. There are two competitions every year, generally in the Spring and Fall.
Eligibility Criteria
- Calls for proposals are issued twice a year, in the winter and fall.
- Any proposal submitted outside the designated timeframe will not be considered.
- Details and dates will be posted in the Current Opportunities section of the MINDS website and sent to the MINDS mailing list subscribers.
- MINDS promotes a multidisciplinary approach to defence and security issues and encourages applicants from various backgrounds to submit projects.
- Please note that as the program centers its efforts on defence policy development and supporting defence policy decision-making, projects related to the field of social sciences, public policy and national defence matters will be privileged, and efforts will be made not to overlap other programs in other areas of interest. For example, applicants from the science and engineering fields are invited to consider National Defence’s IDEaS program.
- Individuals are encouraged to apply on behalf of the organization with which they are affiliated, such as a university, not-for-profit organization, or research institution.
- International applicants are eligible to apply.
