Alternative Funding
The Office of Research Services is dedicated to providing timely information on alternative funding sources. We offer information on available alternative funding opportunities, funding alert notices, workshops, and other support programs to better assist our research community in securing funding for research projects and/or infrastructure.
An alternative or non-traditional funding source is defined as a non-Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC, SSHRC) or government-funded research organization. Alternative sponsors may include, but are not limited to private foundations and trusts, community and non-governmental organizations, and not-for-profit associations.
We encourage our research community to support their research projects and/or programs using traditional and alternative sponsors.
We offer basic information on non-traditional funding sources in Canada and abroad, including private and community foundations, ADF.
