- Stream 1: supports platforms that are in development or already existing but that have never been funded through Brain Canada’s Platform Support Grants program.
- Stream 2: supports platforms that have previously received funding through Brain Canada’s Platform Support Grants program.
Applications are open to researcher institutions in Canada. Total grant amounts are flexible to accommodate the needs of each platform. Grants will be three (3) years; non-renewable. Total grant amounts are flexible to accommodate the needs of each platform. Historically, grants awarded through the PSG program have ranged from $138,000 – $6.1 million (including matching funds) across the grant duration. Grants may not be used to cover indirect costs.
