<b>APPLICABLE TO CANADIAN RESEARCHERS ONLY</b><br>
<br>
Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) has announced its next
round of
competitive funding open for university research. You may have
already been
alerted by your institution about internal procedures and deadlines.
CFI
does present a substantial opportunity for funding projects and
initiatives
above and beyond what is already in place with TRIUMF's Five-Year
Plan,
NSERC, and so on. The TRIUMF community has been very successful in
the past
and there is no reason to expect this to change.
<br>
<br>
Certain CFI projects may require TRIUMF resources or have an impact
on
existing plans or facilities. To manage these impacts optimally, and
to
identify any needed priorities, TRIUMF is turning to its Policy and
Planning
Advisory Committee (PPAC).
<br>
<br>
TRIUMF is requiring that all potential CFI projects that affect or
draw on
TRIUMF resources must submit a Project Charter Sheet for
consideration by
PPAC in advance of its meeting on September 16 <a
href="http://www.triumf.ca/project-management/project-charter-sheet-commitment-summary-sheet">(http://www.triumf.ca/project-management/project-charter-sheet-commitment-summary-sheet</a>).<br>
<br>
The TRIUMF Program and Planning Advisory Committee (PPAC) we will be
meeting
September 16 and will be assessing the demands place on TRIUMF by
the CFI
proposals. To be sure of optimal treatment by TRIUMF the Project
Charter
Sheets should be submitted to me by September 9 so they can be
considered by
PPAC.
