Description
The purpose of the Knowledge Translation and Transfer (KTT) Funding Program is to explore the science of KTT, drive knowledge into action, and evaluate and utilize KTT methods and best practices.
The Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance invites project proposals in the following funding streams:
- KTT Research Funding includes projects that advance the science of knowledge translation and transfer in agri-food and rural sectors.
- KTT Mobilization Funding supports outreach and/or engagement activities that connect end-users with existing research.
Individual project proposals may only be submitted to one funding stream.
All projects, regardless of stream, must relate to an established OMAFRA research priority and support Ontario’s agri-food and/or rural sectors. Projects do not need to address a specific research question within the identified priority.
This application is a one-step review process. Full proposal applications will be available starting October 30, 2019; full proposals are due by 1:00 pm on December 18, 2019.
For further information about this call and OMAFRA research priorities, please visit the Alliance website.
