International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada (ISTP Canada), the Department of Science and Technology (DST)/ Global Innovation and Technology Alliance or GITA (India), and the Department of Biotechnology or DBT (India) are hosting three Calls for Proposals (CFP) for Partnership Development Activities (PDAs) between Canada and India.

Canadian and Indian funding recipients are eligible to receive up to a maximum of CDN $25,000 (or the equivalent value in Rupees) for their PDA.

The Calls invite university researchers, technology experts and industry leaders to propose PDAs that will help forge new research and technology development partnerships between Canadian and Indian innovators, and stimulate R&D or business collaboration that increases the competitiveness of both countries.

Leveraging investment from the Governments of Canada and India, these program delivery agencies will support dozens of new bilateral PDAs that span multiple technology areas such as photonics, nanotechnology/nanoscience; and industrial sectors such as information and communications technologies (ICT), life sciences, energy, environment, earth sciences and aerospace. Canadian and Indian funding recipients are eligible to receive up to a maximum of CDN $25,000 (or the equivalent value in Rupees) for their PDA.

Complete applications are required by August 3, 2010, Midnight EST. Selected PDAs will be announced in September 2010, and must be completed by February 15, 2011.
