PROGRAM UNIVERSE
DiscoveryWhat public support is available?
Published business-support information is organized across federal, provincial, territorial, regional, tax and delivery-partner sources.
Method & Coverage
Method and coverage for Canadian funding research.
The platform separates program discovery, structured record development, preliminary project assessment and current-source verification so each stage has a defined purpose and level of reliance.
Research principle
Discovery is preliminary. Current-source confirmation is required before action.
Program records support initial research and comparison. Intake periods, detailed eligibility requirements, eligible costs, stacking provisions, application procedures and funding decisions may change independently of a directory record.
Canada Grants therefore distinguishes broad program discovery from current-source confirmation. Material program information should be verified with the administering organization before an application, expenditure commitment or funding decision.
Research system
Source data, structured records, project assessment and verification.
Each layer addresses a distinct research function and preserves the difference between published program information, normalized data and preliminary assessment.
PROGRAM RECORD
Structured recordWhat support does the program provide?
Records normalize administrator, jurisdiction, support type, amount information, project activities, applicant signals and official-source context.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
Preliminary assessmentHow does the project compare with published program signals?
The research workspace compares structured organization and project inputs with available program attributes to support preliminary screening and ranking.
SOURCE VERIFICATION
VerificationWhat requires confirmation before proceeding?
Current intake, detailed eligibility, eligible costs, stacking, timing, application requirements and evidence requirements are confirmed against authoritative sources.
Research workflow
From broad program discovery to a documented shortlist.
01Discover
Search by geography, support type, sector, project activity, applicant type and potential funding amount.
02Shortlist
Review detailed records and identify programs that warrant project-specific assessment.
03Confirm
Verify material program terms, timing and requirements with authoritative sources.
04Prioritize
Document program priorities, dependencies, timing considerations and further information requirements.
Data governance
Structured records support consistent and traceable research.
Source information, normalized program fields, assessment logic and user-provided project data are maintained as separate layers. This supports controlled updates, clearer research provenance and consistent preliminary screening across the platform.
Advisory review
Request a project-specific funding review.
For defined projects, advisory review can document relevant programs, material eligibility factors, source-confirmation requirements and funding priorities.
