How should new networks position themselves in comparison to similar initiatives in Canada or abroad?
In both the LOI and Full Application stages of the competition, we expect applicants to clearly define the relationship between their proposed Network and similar initiatives elsewhere in Canada and abroad. Where there is significant overlap or reasonable potential for perceived overlap between a proposed Network and (a) currently or previously funded initiative(s), applicants must append a short explanation (maximum three pages) to their LOI. This explanation should describe, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the differences between the proposed Network and the currently or previously funded initiative(s). Describe how the proposed Network will compliment or build on the activities of the other initiative(s), as well as the incremental value of the proposed network.
