Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI)

Æ»¹ûÒùÔº

CFI is an independent corporation created by the Government of Canada to fund research infrastructure. Its mandate is to strengthen the capacity of Canadian universities, colleges, research hospitals, and non-profit research institutions to carry out world-class research and technology development that benefits Canadians.

The infrastructure funded by the CFI includes state-of-the-art facilities, laboratories, equipment, computer hardware, software, and databases necessary to conduct leading-edge research. The funding provided is to acquire research infrastructure and to support their ongoing operation and maintenance.

CFI offers a suite of funding opportunities:

Innovation Fund (IF)

Ìýprovides continued investments in infrastructure, across the full spectrum of research, from the most fundamental to applied through to technology development. The Innovation Fund (IF) supports a broad range of research programs, including those in natural, social and health sciences, engineering, humanities and the arts, as well as interdisciplinary research. Projects funded through the CFI-IF will help Canada remain at the forefront of exploration and knowledge generation while making meaningful contributions to generating social, health, environmental and economic benefits and addressing global challenges.
