The deadline to register a CIHR project grant is Wednesday, August 13, 6pm MST. Registration requires a short summary of the project, a total budget number, and key terms and identifying the institute and the committee you are applying to. Information about registration is found here: https://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/49503.html For the registration, you do not need to work with ORIS or obtain institutional approval. The registration allows CIHR to prepare review committees to fit the application demand, so the summary and key terms you select will determine the background and expertise of the researchers who will review your application.

by Ekpe Adewuyi, Esther 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, You are invited to apply to the National Invention to Innovation (i2I) Skills Training Program<https://inventiontoinnovation.ca/programs/>. This academic program is an NSERC-funded initiative designed to assist Canadian researchers in bridging the gap between scientific discovery and commercialization. The i2I Program is tailored for research scientists and engineers looking to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and navigate the complexities of bringing innovations to market. Based on decades of academic research and industry expertise, i2I Skills training is an asynchronous online cohort-based program (running from September 2025 to April 2026) that equips researchers to address the capacity, culture, and connectivity needs of the Canadian innovation ecosystem. The program is competitive, but fees are covered for accepted graduate students, post-docs, and faculty. The program considers three commercialization paths, including scientist-entrepreneurs, innovation champions, and translational scientists. It is a great place to start if you are looking to build an entrepreneurial capacity in your lab, explore early commercialization ideas, or help entrepreneurial students find new pathways. Participants join a vibrant network of academic experts, industry mentors, and translational colleagues across Canada, fostering collaboration and connectivity within the innovation ecosystem. * Application link: https://beedie.sfu.ca/ee-applications/i2i/skills-training/ * Deadline: June 30, 2025 Contact Tony Briggs (i2I(a)sfu.ca<mailto:i2I@sfu.ca>) if you have any questions about the application process. Also, let me know if this interests you and if you plan to apply. More soon Esther
