specifically to DFO’s research needs. One-time grants of up to $15,000
will be awarded for short-term projects or to supplement or provide start-up
funds for longer-term projects. A total of $300,000 is available for the
pilot. Multi-year funding will be considered within the expanded DFO Subvention
