The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is intending to provide funding through grants in relation to the "Space Science Enhancement Program" for programmatic priority areas starting in 2009. For this competition, the CSA will be concentrating on providing awards for data analysis related to CSA-sponsored Space Science missions that are either providing data at the time of release of this announcement of opportunity, have flown and produced data in the past (data from recent missions will be given preference) or data that are expected to be obtained in the near future from missions that are approved and that have a manifested launch opportunity (i.e. missions currently manifested to launch on or before 31 March 2010). The CSA Space Science Enhancement Program (SSEP) is a component of the CSA Class Grant and Contribution Program to Support Awareness, Research and Training in Space Science and Technology.

The Canadian Space Agency’s objectives for the Partnerships Support Program are: to increase the involvement of Canadian post-secondary academic institutions in advanced technology research areas of interest to the Canadian Space Program and to support the training of skilled personnel in space technologies. The key result expected from this Program is to increase the supply of scientists and engineers with PhDs and/or Masters’ with research experience in addressing real space problems faced by industry and/or government institutions.
