Innovation Fund (IF)
Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI)
UM are seeking bold proposals for the new highly competitive internal CFI 2025 Innovation Fund (IF) competition. Compelling proposals must describe ground-breaking and innovative initiatives that have the potential to revolutionize their fields. The impact is expected to cement UM’s position on the global stage.
The early stages of the internal process will follow the CFI 2023 Call for Proposals and the CFI Policy and Program Guide. Submitted materials will be assessed by the UM’s CFI Advisory (Ad Hoc) Committee, based on the four internal criteria listed within the internal call.
To register for the workshop, please contact Jocelyne.Orem@UManitoba.ca. For all other inquiries, please contact Birtukan.Gebretsadik@UManitoba.ca.
