An interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach is encouraged;
- A researcher may only submit one application as a principal investigator but may be a co-applicant on multiple applications;
- The proposed project must not be (or have been) funded by any other source;
- Preliminary data is permitted but not required;
- Advantage will be given to inter-university collaborations and cross-sectoral linkages;
