Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) | John R. Evans Leaders Fund

The John R. Evans Leaders Fund enables a select number of an institution's excellent researchers to undertake leading-edge research by providing them with the foundational research infrastructure required to be or become leaders in their field. In turn, this enables institutions to remain internationally competitive in areas of research and technology development, aligned with their strategic priorities.

• This fund also offers institutions the opportunity to create competitive research support packages in the form of infrastructure and a portion of the operating and maintenance costs, coupled with direct research costs from partner organizations.
• There are a total of five different streams under the John R. Evans Leaders Fund: the unaffiliated stream and four partnership streams.
• Universities can submit proposals requesting up to $800,000 from the CFI, with a maximum total eligible cost of $2 million. The CFI will allow the submission of proposals requesting less than or equal to $75,000 from the CFI from the social sciences, humanities and arts, and those universities that have access to the Small Institution Fund.
