Departments submit a high-level Expression of Interest (EOI) that is used by the CRI to determine the eligibility of the project. To be eligible for funding, proposed experiments must clearly demonstrate how their funding request meets the criteria as outlined in the REEF Guide. It is highly recommended that applicants informally confirm the eligibility of their project by scheduling an informal consultation with the CRI before completing an EOI. EOI submissions are due January 16, 2024.<p class="highlighted mw-collapsible-content"></p>

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content mw-collapsed">Any Government of Canada regulator may apply for funding.

Transport Canada is conducting a regulatory experiment to assess the suitability of Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) for use in flight training. The project aims to evaluate LSA certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in Canadian flight training environments. Working with selected flight schools, Transport Canada will gather data on aircraft performance, reliability, and training quality. The experiment seeks to inform potential updates to regulations, potentially allowing more modern and environmentally friendly aircraft options for pilot training while maintaining safety standards.

Health Canada is developing a regulatory sandbox for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy products manufactured at the point of care. This experiment aims to test a co-creation process for developing tailored regulatory requirements under Health Canada's Advanced Therapeutic Products pathway. The project will involve collaboration with various stakeholders to design market access authorization requirements for these innovative cancer treatments. The goal is to create an adaptive regulatory framework that maintains safety standards while facilitating faster access to new therapies.

| style="background-color: #ffffff;" |
 +
The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is conducting a regulatory experiment to develop and test new requirements for preventing and addressing impacts to Indigenous rights and interests related to energy infrastructure projects. The experiment aims to enhance Indigenous involvement in compliance verification and oversight processes. Using a co-creation approach with Indigenous communities and other stakeholders, the CER will develop tailored regulatory requirements and test a joint compliance verification process. The project seeks to strengthen measures to protect Indigenous rights while informing updates to CER's regulatory framework.

−
|This experiment as proposed by TC involves setting  up a sandbox to determine if Light Sport Aircraft, with appropriate  conditions, are as reliable as other aircraft currently being used for the purpose of flight training and if the quality of training is as good, or  better, than other aircraft currently used for pilot training. The experiment  will also inform Transport Canada on potential additional conditions/measures  that should be included in future exemptions or regulatory amendments.

Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), aims to streamline regulatory pathways for novel fertilizers in Canada. The project will test an industry-developed prioritization matrix to identify key ingredients for potential exemption from registration, potentially reducing the backlog of premarket applications. It will evaluate the effectiveness of allocating CFIA resources towards expanding the List of Materials (LOM) and explore industry collaboration in prioritizing materials and developing application packages. By comparing the costs and efficiency of adding materials to the LOM versus reviewing individual registration applications, the project seeks to inform strategies for reducing regulatory burdens while maintaining safety standards. This approach could lead to faster market access for novel fertilizers, supporting agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability in Canada.

|The purpose of this experiment is to pilot a prototype accreditation program to understand whether the main SCC  Requirements and Guidance document that works in conjunction with ISO/IEC  17021-1:2015 Conformity assessment is clear and appropriate and obtain  feedback from the certification bodies and Artificial Intelligence (AI)  companies about the program. This information is necessary to improve and refine the prototype.

| style="background-color: #ffffff;" |Transport Canada (TC) is using a regulatory sandbox to test and refine an interim regulatory regime that enables commercial space launch activities in Canada in a safe and secure manner. In the sandbox, TC will authorize Canadian companies to conduct space launches to help evaluate TC’s launch authorization requirements, review process and oversight approach. This project will help inform the development of a permanent regulatory framework that enables growth in the commercial space launch industry in Canada, while ensuring their activities are safe and secure.

The SCC is also looking to gather information on whether the AIMS could have  an impact on the level of risk of AI products to inform potential use of AIMS  for regulators.

|This is a follow up to previous experiment to test a  new QR code prototype with pilots of an air operator within Canada for  effectiveness. The sandbox experiment will test if the digital solution  lowers the cost of compliance and improve compliance with respect to air  operators’ obligation to track employee compliance with licensing  requirements.

Transport Canada (TC) is using a regulatory sandbox to develop and test standards requirements for new hydrogen and battery-powered locomotives that foster industry innovation while maintaining safety. In the sandbox, rail companies will comply with the standards requirements in real world operations to help TC evaluate standards burden, inspection outcomes, and the impact on innovation. This project will help inform the development of a permanent regulatory regime that allows Canadian companies the flexibility to develop these new locomotives, while ensuring they are used safely.

| Machine Learning Enabled Medical Device (MLMD)  Sandbox Development
  −
|Health Canada is developing a sandbox to test new  regulatory approach for MLMDs. Currently, MLMD can be marketed in Canada if  the device algorithm behaviour is locked to remain the same overtime as what  was presented in the product’s market authorization application. Any change  to the algorithm behaviour requires the submission of an amendment to the  licence. Health Canada wants to test a new regulatory approach that would use  a different method of risk management than requiring a licence amendment so that  the device can change its behaviour over time as it learns from new data it  acquires over time. The current project scope is limited to accessing the  legislative authorities to establish the sandbox and developing the sandbox  application scheme.
