They provide academic researchers and industry collaborators with the latest technologies and resources, while also enriching the quality of research and accelerate the pace of discovery. Given that genomics, RNA chemistry, data science, biomanufacturing, and clinical research are technology-driven and rapidly evolving, supporting Core Platforms are crucial.

The Core Platform Sustainability program offers operational support to existing or newly formed McGill Core Platforms, for technical personnel, data managers, extended warranties, and equipment repair and services.

  • Eligibility: This funding opportunity is available to Core Platforms that are recognized by the lead Faculty as described in McGill's Policy on Research Entities and Procedure for Core Facilities.
  • Awards: Up to $250,000 annually for a maximum of three years, totaling up to $750,000.
  • Application Deadline: September 30, 2024 at 5 PM Eastern time.

 

Centres and Institutes Support:

Research Centres and Institutes are crucial for advancing research and fostering a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to research and training.

The Centres and Institutes Support program is designed to enhance their impact and research by supporting their activities that are aligned with D2R overarching goals.

  • Eligibility: This funding opportunity is available to Centres or Institutes approved by McGill's Policy on Research Entities, or to an academic institute approved by the Board of Governors.
