2016- 2017 Strategic Investment Program
AGE-WELL invites researchers and their teams to participate in its inaugural Strategic Investment Program competition.
AGE-WELL’s Strategic Investment Program (SIP) supports opportunities that require a rapid response in order to generate, promote or accelerate economic and social benefits aligned with AGE-WELL’s mission and vision. These funds will support post-discovery commercialization, business development and knowledge dissemination, mobilization, or translation activities.
Successful projects should accelerate Canadian innovation and economic competitiveness, and improve the quality of life for older adults or caregivers.
AGE-WELL will consider proposals for knowledge mobilization and/or commercialization, including:
- knowledge mobilization (KM), translation (KT) or exchange activities, including but not limited to, the development or implementation of KM/KT products or tools
- commercialization of technologies, products, and/or services, including but not limited to, business development, market readiness and prototype development activities
The Strategic Investment Program funds projects of up to one (1) year in length. The maximum investment from AGE-WELL is $25,000.
Please review the detailed SIP Program Description for additional information about this opportunity.
