 |  CCSIP Announces Selection of 15 Bilateral Projects
In January 2010, CCSIP announced the selection of 15 bilateral projects emerging from its first Call for Proposals (CFP). These projects are supported by over $1 million in new research funding, and combine expertise, research resources and investment from both constituencies. These initiatives aim to develop novel models of R&D collaboration that address global challenges such as climate change, infectious diseases such as H1N1 influenza and the demand for sustainable energy.
They build on bilateral R&D initiatives catalyzed by CCSIP to date, including the launch of the Cancer Stem Cell Consortium, a novel collaboration with the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine which recently announced combined funding of $80 million to support two Canada-California teams over the next four years. Projects include:
Canada-California Collaborative Events: 9 Bilateral Projects
Canada-California R&D Business Plans: 6 Bilateral Projects
