The Strategic Support Horizon supports multidisciplinary collaborations in Canada. We anticipate that expeditions will leverage complementary funds to support scientific or training objectives while the Strategic Support horizon extends opportunities to sea-going researchers who have had difficulty in the past attracting vessel funding.
The fund is designed to promote Canadian leadership of expeditions, advance federal strategic objectives, and enable Indigenous owned research vessels to connect with the ocean research sector.
Expedition duration: Several days to several weeks, depending on vessel size.
Deadline: October 30, 2026 at 23:59 EST
