NRC IRAP Clean Technology Support

National Research Council Canada (NRC IRAP) · Federal

In plain language

The replacement for dissolved SDTC — now delivered through NRC IRAP's Clean Technology stream. Supports Canadian SMEs developing cleantech with measurable environmental benefit (GHG reduction, water, soil, air). Contribution up to ~67% of eligible project costs, typical awards $50K–$4M depending on TRL. No public application form — you must be adopted by an ITA and walked through the process. A future merge with SDTC under the Canada Innovation Corporation is planned by 2026–27. NL cleantech founders should engage an ITA early; the baseline NRC-IRAP relationship is already a building block.
