To be eligible for funding, proposed experiments must clearly demonstrate how their funding request meets the criteria as outlined in the [https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.gccollab.ca%2Fimages%2Fd%2Fdd%2FREEF_Guide_-_2022.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK 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"></p>

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content mw-collapsed">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. </p>

|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.

|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.

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.

|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.
