CFI Consultation on Cyber‑Infrastructure Initiative

Posted by Research Services on May 29, 2014 in General Announcements

CFI has recently released a Consultation Paper on the proposed Cyber-Infrastructure Initiative which has been designed “to provide Canadian institutions and their researchers with the infrastructure required to enable groundbreaking data-intensive and computationally challenging research in areas of strategic importance”. (PDF 196 KB).

The Cyber-infrastructure Initiative is scheduled to be launched in October by CFI. The amount of funding available from CFI for this competition is $50M. This initiative is expected to support multi-institutional domain-specific data projects as well as the upgrade of the Compute Canada national platform. 

Comments on the Consultation Paper should be sent to Nancy.Hayter@Dal.Ca by June 20. All comments will be compiled and forwarded to CFI by H Research Services. 

If anyone is interested in submitting a team application to this competition, please contact Nancy Hayter as soon as possible and by June 20 at the latest. H expects to lead one application for this competition and if more than one H group comes forward, an internal competition may be necessary.
