Proposal Process

CSIT’s Corporate Development & Communication (CDC) office (see Contacts) is our first point-of-contact with parties interested in the TIF. We strongly recommend that you first contact the CDC prior to proposal submission. Where possible, the CDC will assign a relevant technology expert within CSIT to provide clarifications on the relevance and significance of the R&D concept to CSIT, and to assist in the development of the proposals.

There are two stages to the submission of proposals for TIF funding.

CSIT will reply to all Proposals submitted before the end of the next calendar month from the receipt of the latest revision. In some cases, we may request for a presentation by the proposer.

Once the Detailed Proposal is accepted, CSIT will enter into a Research Contract with the successful party to fund the research, and the R&D project can then commence.
