Regional Artificial Intelligence Initiative (RAII) in the Prairie Provinces - 3. Before you apply
3. Before you apply
Only the projects with the strongest alignment with program objectives and expected results will be selected. To prepare a strong application it is important that you:
- Ensure the eligibility of your organization, and the activities of the proposed project by reviewing the information detailed under “2. Who is eligible”. If you are still unsure, contact PrairiesCan to discuss your eligibility.
- Read the program materials as described on this website to obtain an understanding of what will be expected from you in terms of application requirements and process.
- Identify someone from your organization to be a project lead or primary contact that PrairiesCan will engage with as the project is assessed and implemented.
- Gather all the mandatory documentation that PrairiesCan is requesting for the Expression of Interest (EOI). This will ensure that PrairiesCan will have the information necessary to review your EOI. Should your project advance, further documentation will be required for the full application.
Should you have any questions regarding or during the application process, please contact a PrairiesCan office.
Decisions are made within approximately 90 business days of receiving a complete funding application. Refer to PrairiesCan’s service standards.
Other funding considerations
We encourage you to consult your accountant and/or the Canada Revenue Agency to fully understand the income tax effects of receiving RAII funding and the extent to which such funding may impact other existing or prospective funding agreements.
Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) credits or other similar federal or provincial tax credits expected to be received within the project scope/timeline for project activities will be treated as other government assistance. This may require PrairiesCan to reduce its funding to maintain the level of government assistance at 50%. Where possible, exclude SR&ED or other tax credit eligible costs from your application.
