Research Funding Summary and Application Guidelines
To assist the EMRWB in carrying out its research functions, a research trust fund of $5 million was created. This one-time injection of money has to be carefully managed. The funds have been invested, with the aim of funding research projects using the annual interest generated from the investments.
The Wildlife Board will issue a call for proposals before the beginning of each fiscal year, after an annual assessment of the Research Fund Investment performance has been completed. No application deadline has been established, but proponents are encouraged to apply early as fund availability will decrease as the year progresses. The Application Guide contains all the information required to apply to the Fund. Applicants should print and fill out the Application Form below. For any question on the Research Fund or application process, please contact us at: wildlife@eeyoumarineregion.ca
