Partners from industry, government, and the community collaborate with Ryerson researchers in a variety of ways. Partners can offer interesting research questions, specialized expertise, sites for research, and cash or in kind contributions for funding.
OVPRI provides a range of supports to help match researchers and potential partner organizations, and maintains an up-to-date funding opportunities listing where you can find more links to funding partners.
Faculty members interested in information on potential funders are also encouraged to search the Community of Science Pivot database, consult the Canadian Directory to Foundations, or other materials to identify possible sources of funding. The final identification of the most appropriate source(s) and the thrust of the work may take considerable time and interaction, and may require contacting the sponsors for more specific information.
