Class Grants and Contribution Program
The CNSC’s Class Grants & Contributions Program is administered as part of the Research and Support Program. The Research and Support Program provides access to independent expert advice, experience and information through contracts, grants or contributions placed in the private sector and with other agencies and organizations in Canada and internationally.
All projects funded through the Grants and Contributions Program are for the purpose of generating knowledge and information to support CNSC staff in its regulatory mission. Currently, CNSC is responsible for identifying the projects and recipients and submitting the funding application for consideration and approval under the Research and Support Program.
For information concerning the application process, please contact us at research-recherche@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca.
Prior to April 1, 2010, the CNSC had two programs in its Transfer Payment Programs; Class Grants and Contributions and the Canadian Safeguards Support Program (CSSP) for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). As the authority for the IAEA contribution agreement expired on March 31, 2010, it was determined that the IAEA contribution agreement can be rolled-up under the current Transfer Payment authority for the Class Grants and Contribution Program and will follow the same evaluation timelines.
The contribution agreement with the IAEA supports the CNSC by:
- conducting, developing and implementing systems studies, standards and guidelines
- developing, supporting and implementing new equipment and technologies
- sharing and acquiring knowledge and new developments on nuclear safeguards
