Grants awarded
The Canada Research Continuity Emergency Fund (CRCEF) was announced on May 15, 2020, as part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. The temporary program has been established to help sustain the research enterprise at Canadian universities and health research institutions that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds are being allocated in stages. Results are posted once the payments have been made.
On September 30, 2020, the CRCEF announced an extension to the maximum eligibility period for wage subsidy, from 12 to 24 weeks, to provide extended support for research personnel.
Stage 1
Stage 1 of the CRCEF program issued an immediate payment to provide wage support to research personnel for up to 12 weeks. Unused Stage 1 funds held in reserve by recipients have been applied against their approved Stage 3 Grant payment. Should the reserved funds exceed the Stage 3 Grant, the recipient will be required to return to the Receiver General of Canada the excess portion of funds.
