Fund Type
The Strategic Science Fund (SSF) is a new approach to improve the effectiveness of federal investments in supporting third-party science and research organizations (TPOs). The SSF has established a principles-based framework for allocating federal funding to TPOs that includes competitive, transparent processes. Eligible recipients are not-for-profit organizations incorporated in Canada (federally or provincially) that cannot access other federal funding programs. The SSF is jointly administered by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and Health Canada.
Objectives
The SSF aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Research: Increase the quality of internationally competitive, leading-edge research in areas critical to the health, economic and social well-being of Canadians.
- Talent: Develop, attract and retain world-class research and innovation talent in scientific areas that are aligned with Canada's priorities.
- Knowledge mobilization: Accelerate the exchange of research results and the translation of this knowledge into action in Canada and abroad.
- Culture: Strengthen evidence-based decision-making, innovation skills development and science culture.
