What funding is available for assisting R&D expenditures for IMS projects?
Each region in the IMS Program has some from of financial assistance program available for industrial and/or university R&D support. In some cases, this support is specific to the IMS Program. In other cases, IMS consortium partners must apply for assistance through general programs, not specific to IMS. Your Regional Secretariat can advise you as to what funding assistance programs are available in your region. The IMS Terms of Reference specifies that regions will fund their own participation. In other words, the funding for IMS project R&D being conducted in any IMS Region must stem from within the region itself.
