| − | === Step 2: Expression of Interest Submission===
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | The second 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. | + | =The REEF Process= |

| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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.

| − | Successful EOI applicants will be invited to complete the second stage of the application process which is the submission of a full [[Images/a/a6/Proposal Template.docx|proposal]]. Before developing a proposal, applicants should obtain the support of their Director General or above. The CRI supports applicants throughout the proposal development process. Regulators should refer to the [[Images/6/6b/CRI Regulators' Experimentation Toolkit.pdf|Regulators’ Experimentation Toolkit]] to assist in identifying, designing, and carrying out regulatory experiments and sandboxes.
