Funding provided to institutions through the JELF helps institutions to recruit and retain outstanding researchers and to acquire the tools that enable the innovative work of leading researchers. JELF funding is considered highly competitive, especially when combined with research support from our partner organizations.

The JELF has 5 different funding streams: one unaffiliated stream and four partnership streams.

The unaffiliated stream accepts proposals for infrastructure that are standalone and not affiliated to an application submitted to any of a funding partners.

The partnership stream accepts proposals that are submitted alongside an application for research support from a funding partners: Canada Research Chairs, Canada Excellence Research Chairs, NSERC Alliance Grants, and SSHRC Insight Grants and Partnership Grants.

The Innovation Fund provides continued investments in infrastructure, across the full spectrum of research. Eligible infrastructure projects involve acquiring or developing research infrastructure to increase research capacity and support world-class research that will lead to social, health, environmental, or economic benefits for Canadians. The Innovation Fund intends to enhance and optimize the capacity of institutions and research communities to conduct the proposed research over the useful life of the infrastructure.

Total project costs must be greater than $1M to be considered for the Innovation Fund competition.

• Space and Utilities
• Laboratory and Office Furniture
• Library Services
• Research Financial Services
• Research Ethics, Animal Care and Biohazards
• Payroll
• Liability Insurance
