Partners & Receptors

Overview

GRAND partners comprised organizations, except Network Members, that agreed to participate in the NCE network and whose mandates include research. Partners included companies, industries, private institutions, hospitals, nonprofit associations, and provincial, federal or municipal government institutions.

Partners played an integral role in, and added incredible value to, the Network through their contributions of cash and in-kind resources, and also through their involvement with the Projects. They brought expertise and perspective to help shape and enhance research outcomes. Networking was intended to integrate research teams and programs and promote effective interactions and partnerships with the user sector outside the academic community. Networking and partnership activities demonstrably assisted GRAND in addressing the problems, challenges, or opportunities for which they are generating solutions.
