Top of PageHow are funds awarded?
• The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency establishes a Funding Review Committee. This committee is independent of both the project proponent and the environmental assessment review process. • The committee is usually comprised of three people, including one Agency representative and at least one non-government member. • The committee reviews all the funding applications and recommends funding awards, taking into account the amount of funds available. • The President of the Agency makes the final decision on funding awards. • For the Regular Funding Envelope, the Agency issues a news release announcing the allocation of funds and issues the Funding Review Committee Report which provides the reasons for the funding decisions. The report is sent to applicants and posted on the Agency’s Web site.
