The Office of Research Services has received the following information which we are forwarding to our e-mail list members:
Hello all,
I wanted to let you all know that our next deadline for BCIC Ignite applications is quickly approaching on Jan 22, 2018. If you could you please disseminate the attached program guidelines and Letter of Intent form to appropriate faculty and department heads within the Natural Resources, Applied Sciences & Engineering that are looking for funding to commercialize their research?
Here is a link to our BCIC Ignite messaging kit that includes copy you can use for newsletters and social media:

We have a funding budget of $2.1M for 2018. The program provides awards of up to $300,000 to consortia that are conducting research projects that:
- Are industry driven, solving a significant problem faced by industry
- Can commercialize their innovation within a 3-year timeframe
- Involve a consortium of research and industry personnel
- Have secured matching funding at a ratio of 2:1
In addition to the Jan 22 deadline, we are also doing an intake on July 23, 2018. Timeframes for both intakes are included in the attached guidelines. If you could add to any grant listings on your website it would be appreciated
Thank you and happy holidays!
