Mitacs supports Canada's municipalities

The data, expertise, and tools you need to strengthen your community require talent, time, and budget. But finding the ideal combination of these three elements can be a challenge. 

Mitacs helps you bridge those gaps. 

We offer funding (non repayable grants) and connect municipalities with post-secondary researchers for innovative projects — from affordable housing, green initiatives, transit, infrastructure, climate change — and more — to tackle your most difficult challenges and create vibrant and healthy communities.

No matter the scope of the project, we can help. 

• Non-repayable funding from $6,000 to multi-million $
