The first step is to contact the [[Mailto:cri-cir@tbs-sct.gc.ca?Subject=Regulatory Experimentation Expense Fund Enquiry&body=|Centre for Regulatory Innovation]] to request an informal consultation to determine whether and how the REEF can best support your goals.
    +
Several different types of projects have been eligible for the REEF – read more [[CRI Supported Projects|here]].

!Step 2: Expression of Interest Submission
   −
The CRI currently has five '''ongoing''' '''projects''' under the REEF. A list of these ongoing projects can be found at the bottom of this page.
     −
[[:en:CRI_Supported_Projects|Click here to access a list of completed REEF projects and their associated experimentation reports.]]
+
The first step is the submission of 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.
       +
Any Government of Canada regulator may apply for funding. Priority will be given to experiments where regulators have identified collaboration with regulated entities or other businesses with the aim of bringing applications of new and emerging technologies into the Canadian marketplace or enhancing competitiveness.
   −
<span style="color: #1F402B"><big>'''Who Should Apply?'''</big></span>
  −
  −
*Regulators who want to understand the impacts of a proposed regulatory solution before implementing it permanently
  −
*Regulators who are considering multiple potential solutions and want to identify the best option through testing and generating evidence
      +
The EOI provides a brief overview of the proposed experiment or pre-experimentation project and amount of funding requested. The EOI should not take more than a few hours to complete. If you have questions on how to complete the EOI, it is recommended that you reach out to the CRI. EOIs should be submitted by email to cri-cir@tbs-sct.gc.ca.

The CRI has expanded the scope of the REEF to support regulators with their ‘pre-experimentation’ efforts. This means that regulators can access funding before they are ready to conduct an experiment. Some examples include projects aiming to:
+
The CRI will contact applicants as required if clarifications on the proposed experiment or pre-experimentation project are needed. Applicants with an eligible EOI will be invited to submit a proposal.
   −
*determine if experimentation is the right approach for a specific situation or problem
  −
*develop an experimentation idea (e.g., develop experiment scope, clarify evidence needs, develop what the experiment would look like and how the evidence would be obtained)  <br>
     −
If you are interested in accessing funding or learning more, reach out to the [mailto:cri-cir@tbs-sct.gc.ca?Subject=Regulatory%20Experimentation%20Expense%20Fund%20Enquiry&body=%20 <u>Centre for Regulatory Innovation</u>] to request a consultation.
+
Eligible EOIs will be invited to the second step being the submission of a proposal intended to present the project in more detail and allow the interdepartmental DG-level CRI Steering Committee to confirm the project’s eligibility and rank the project using the assessment criteria.

|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.
