Description
The Research Capacity Program (RCP) is a competitive funding program designed to support the acquisition of small equipment and large research infrastructure to build capacity in Campus Alberta institutions and support multidisciplinary teams of researchers conducting excellent research and innovation initiatives. The RCP is aligned with Alberta's research and innovation system and investments are made in the context of Government of Alberta (GoA) research and innovation priorities and Institutional Research Plan (IRP) priorities. The RCP uses a cost-shared funding approach to provide up to 40% of the total eligible project costs for successful proposals, enabling projects to leverage support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and other sources. To facilitate this cost-shared approach, the RCP coordinates its competition streams and competitive cycles with the CFI, as shown in the table below. The RCP funding stream descriptions and timelines are outlined in section 9 of these guidelines. The intent of the program is to: Support quality and research excellence; Build capacity for innovation and support the attraction and retention of promising and established researchers; and Promote initiatives of strategic benefit to Alberta.
