Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP)

Accelerate your innovation

Developing a new product in Canada? Radically changing your industry’s processes? Hit a roadblock with your IRAP submission?

STRAND helps companies access this National Research Council (NRC) funding that’s non-repayable.

Increase Your Chances with IRAP

To be successful in your company’s request for funding, you’ll need to create a detailed project proposal.

NRC’s Industrial Technology Advisors (ITA) look for specific details, approaches and metrics when deciding to fund a business or not.

STRAND has a strong track record of developing project proposals and go-to-market strategies, with all the nitty-gritty details ITA’s look for.

So you spend less time guessing and more time focusing on your real strengths.
