BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The goal of the Strategic Project Grants (SPG) Program is to increase research and training in targeted areas that could strongly enhance Canada’s economy, society and/or environment within the next 10 years.
It is expected that this program will:
• generate new knowledge/technology with the strong potential to strengthen Canada’s industrial base, generate wealth, create employment and/or influence Canadian public policy;
• increase the number of highly qualified personnel in the areas targeted by this program;
• foster the increased participation of Canadian-based companies and/or government organizations in academic research; and
• enable the transfer of knowledge/technology and expertise to Canadian-based companies that are well-positioned to apply the results for economic gain or to government organizations to strengthen public policy.
