the national research council of canada industrial research assistance program (nrc irap) has identified japan as a priority market to assist canadian small and medium-sized enterprises (smes) to engage in co-innovation partnerships to access japanese global value chains. in japan, much of the innovation activity and budget resides with its world-class large corporations. as a result, nrc irap has developed a program to support canadian smes to engage in a collaborative research and development (r&d) project with japanese multinational corporations.

this program is designed to help canadian smes adapt, validate and integrate their technologies with japanese corporate partners. successful applicants that can develop a co-innovative proof of concept project with japanese partners may be eligible to receive nrc irap funding support to execute the project.

each year, rsrpp funds researchers across ontario to study key road safety challenges and develop novel and actionable ways to make ontario's roads safer. rsrpp projects take on average between one to three years to complete and typically do not exceed $50,000 per year in program funding. selected partners must conduct applied road safety research using methodologies that the ministry of transportation cannot perform internally. this includes research that leverages any form of specialized equipment or resources such as private data sources, survey studies, simulator testing, or clinical expertise, as examples. only studies that cannot be performed by mto personnel are eligible for program funding.
