AC Research Grants

AC Research Grants help drive our approach to advancing material discovery. These grants not only allow the AC to enhance the scope and depth of our research endeavours but also facilitate the translation of groundbreaking discoveries into real-world applications. Funding is awarded across three categories:

• Accelerate Seed grants build accelerated discovery capacity at University of Toronto by helping faculty enter the field or collaborate with those already doing accelerated discovery.  
• Accelerate Moonshot grants support high-risk, high-reward grants that will make significant contributions to the development or use of SDLs.  
• Accelerate Translation grants support accelerated discovery projects with clear commercialization goals and justified/demonstrated market potential, as well as the implementation or scaling of knowledge mobilization activities, training, and community engagement.

More details on the full scope, eligibility, value and deadlines are coming in Spring 2024. Learn about the recipients of the 2023 grants here.
