Strategic Partnership Program

The Research Manitoba Strategic Partnerships Program aims to promote and support collaborative research initiatives that bring together diverse partners from industry, non-profit institutions and government. The overall aim is to foster innovation and help advance Manitoba’s position in research and innovation.

The two funding streams of this program are:

• Stream 1: Innovative Strategic Partnerships supports initiatives that present a unique and innovative opportunity, address a Manitoba-specific challenge and align with strategic priorities identified by Research Manitoba. These partnerships must involve a minimum of one partner organization in addition to Research Manitoba.
• Stream 2: Matching Funds and External Competition Awards
  • Matching Funds supports Manitoba-based research initiatives/projects that involve a minimum of one partner organization in addition to Research Manitoba and require provincial support. Matching Funds investments will leverage funds to Manitoba from other sources (for example, other funding agencies), and create opportunities for Manitoba researchers that would otherwise be difficult to access

Note: The amounts proposed and duration will be allocated based on the merit of the research program and/or project
