CFI limits how many IF proposals each university can submit to each competition. Details on Carleton\u2019s selection process will be forthcoming in early Fall 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Establishing collaborative multi-institutional research teams, developing innovative world-leading research projects, and scoping out extensive equipment requirements take time. As such, CORIS is launching a preliminary call for expressions of interest (EOI) to allow researchers to pitch research projects with potential infrastructure requirements exceeding $1M total cost.<\/p>\n<p>Principal investigators and\/or small teams of up to four researchers are invited to submit EOIs via this <a href=\"https:\/\/research.carleton.ca\/coris\/preliminary-call-for-research-projects-with-large-scale-infrastructure-requirements-expression-of-interest-eoi-form\/\"><strong>online form<\/strong><\/a>. EOIs will not be adjudicated.<\/p>\n<p>CORIS will offer a series of services to those submitting EOIs (including facilitated brainstorming sessions, budget development support, and strategic advisory services) to help support the development of their idea and team in time for the anticipated 2027 CFI Innovation Fund competition. Submitting an EOI is strongly encouraged but not required for participation in the 2027 CFI-IF competition.<\/p>\n<p>The EOI form is now open for continuous intake until <strong>September 30th.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are uncertain about whether your idea is appropriate for this EOI or have any additional questions, please contact <strong>Kyla Reid<\/strong>, Assistant Director \u2013 Research Development in CORIS at <strong>kyla.reid@carleton.ca<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have an innovative idea for a research project that requires a team and a significant new investment in research infrastructure (equipment, renovation, software, data purchase etc.) to be feasible?
