Funded projects dashboard

Use this funded projects dashboard to explore CFI investments in research infrastructure since 1997.

CFI funding is awarded through a review process that involves researchers from research institutions and the private sector. These volunteers review proposals, typically in committees, and make funding recommendations. The recommendations are then reviewed by the CFI Board of Directors for final funding decisions.

Please note that some aspects of a project may change over time.  For instance, the project leader may change or we may adjust the maximum CFI contribution.  The data below reflects the project details at the time of the last update.

Dollar amounts on this page do not include funding from the Infrastructure Operating Fund.
