CRWDP Seed Grant Competition Results 2014-2015

29 October 2014

In July 2014, CRWDP held the first of our three planned requests for proposals for seed grant funding of up to $10,000. The competition was open to all CRWDP participants and partners.  We received 15 applications for a 2014 funding envelope of approximately $70,000.  

Proposals were reviewed by a multidisciplinary review committee, which included CRWDP participants and partners from each of our four geographic clusters: British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Evaluation criteria were: relevance to CRWDP mandate, innovation, study design, project team, student employment and development, potential for stimulating future funding through a grant, partner role in the study, and budget.
