Application instructions
Project proposals can be submitted to CNPP in a two-step proposal process.
Step one - Expression of Interest
The first step is an Expression of Interest (EOI). This step is strongly recommended as the EOI will provide an opportunity to initiate discussions with Environment and Climate Change Canada staff on the suitability of the project for CNPP. Applicants can use this step to confirm the project’s fit with CNPP priorities and receive input from ECCC staff. EOIs must be submitted by February 26, 2021 to dawn.andrews@canada.ca.
Step two - Formal Proposal
The second (required) step will be the submission of a detailed Formal Proposal with a complete and detailed work plan, budget and letters of support. ECCC will undertake a complete review and assessment of the Formal Proposal on the basis of criteria described in the Proposal Guide. When you're ready to apply, visit the Grants and Contributions Enterprise Management System (GCEMS) application instructions page.
This two-step approach provides opportunities for proponents to work with relevant partners such as territorial governments, Indigenous governments and organizations, and non-profit or private sector organizations to work together to prepare project proposals, provide feedback, and facilitate funding partnerships.
