The First Canada-California Strategic Innovation Partnership (CCSIP) Call for Proposals (CFP) for Collaborative Initiatives Between California and Canada
The University of California is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for collaborative initiatives between California and Canada under the auspices of the First Canada-California Strategic Innovation Partnership (CCSIP). Co-sponsored by the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) and International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada (ISTPCanada), this opportunity is intended to stimulate novel ideas, and catalyze the development of innovative multi-campus and multi-disciplinary research and educational collaborations between partners in both jurisdictions.
Bilateral teams are encouraged to put forward short proposals for collaborative initiatives that aim to address key priorities shared by California and Canada, leverage the complementary strengths of both jurisdictions and emphasize delivery to the market place. This may include the establishment of bilateral R&D consortia, the structuring of Canada-California Centers of Excellence and the creation of new working relations between university systems, in addition to other collaborations. Teams may propose bilateral initiatives in priority areas that include, but are not limited to: Carbon Capture and Sequestration, Green IT, Infectious Diseases, Next-Generation Digital Media and Sustainable Biofuels.
Full proposals are due May 1, 2009. Please see the CCSIP Call for Proposals (pdf)
