Brain Canada Foundation (Brain Canada) and CQDM are joining forces to support interprovincial collaborative biopharmaceutical research and development (R&D) projects on the brain. This partnership creates a unique funding mechanism to bring together experts from academia and industry to support the development of platforms, tools, and biopharmaceutical products that will pave the way for new advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of brain disorders.

GENERAL FRAMEWORK This CQDM and Brain Canada initiative focuses on brain research relevant to biopharmaceutical applications. This initiative aims to:

• Increase research collaborations and partnerships between universities and companies working in the life sciences ecosystem in Quebec and other Canadian provinces and territories to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of brain disorders.
• Enable technological maturation and industrial value creation to generate economic benefits for project stakeholders, Quebec, and the rest of Canada;
• Contribute to the valorization of knowledge, know-how, and new technologies developed in public institutions and their transfer to industry.

EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION It is well established that excellence, innovation, and creativity are promoted when equity, diversity, and inclusion are increased. In this spirit, CQDM and Brain Canada Foundation are committed to promoting excellence through equity and encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to participate in this competition. This approach fosters the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
