• a dedicated fund to support the participation of Canadian researchers within international teams in projects seeking funding from major global platforms.

 

2. The Transformation stream is designed to support large-scale, Canadian-led  interdisciplinary research projects that address a major challenge with the potential to realize real and lasting change ( high reward).
