Platform Support Grants (PSG)

The Platform Support Grants program supports major research platforms at a local, regional, and/or national scale with the goal of providing enhanced technical and research capabilities to multiple investigators in the neurosciences. Through the 2024 Platform Support Grants program, researchers can apply for funding through one of two streams.

Stream 1: Will support platforms that are in development or already existing but that have never been funded through Brain Canada’s Platform Support Grants program.

Stream 2: Will support platforms that have previously received funding through Brain Canada’s Platform Support Grants program. Please note that for Platform Support Grants that are currently ongoing, no more than 5% of the total research grant amount from the existing grant can remain unspent as of March 1, 2025. In addition, this amount must be completely spent down, including any No-Cost Extensions, within the first six (6) months of the March 1, 2025 start date

Funding available over three and a half years in two streams with matching funds required.

Registration forms must be submitted via email to: platformgrant@braincanada.ca. Full Applications must be submitted using Brain Canada’s electronic grant management system, SmartSimple.
