About this program
Natural Resources Canada's Energy Innovation Program funds clean energy research, development and demonstration through calls for proposals on specific themes rather than one continuous intake. Recent calls include Advanced Materials for Energy and Defence, which closed on July 3, 2026, and Innovation Ecosystem Enablers. Funding per project and cost-share vary by call, and each call publishes its own eligibility rules — businesses are typically eligible alongside research and Indigenous organizations. Watch for the next themed call.
Eligibility
Varies by call for proposals. Businesses, research organizations, Indigenous organizations and others are typically eligible; each call publishes its own criteria.
Requirements
- Apply during an open themed call for proposals
- Meet the eligibility rules published with that call
