About AusGrant
The research funding landscape, made legible.
AusGrant is a specialist R&D grants and incentives advisory. We maintain an extensive database of research & development funding - Canada's federal and provincial programs alongside our United States, Australian and Irish coverage, expanding to 50+ countries - and help organisations turn the right opportunity into a funded application.
Canadian research & development funding is scattered across federal and provincial portals - NSERC, NRC IRAP, Mitacs, the CRA and the provincial agencies each publish their own programs, and no two publish deadlines, amounts or eligibility the same way. AusGrant exists to put that information in one place, in one format, kept current.
Our research desk tracks the federal agencies and provincial innovation bodies week by week. Each program is distilled into a structured record - what it funds, who qualifies, how much, by when, and where to apply - with a plain-English summary designed to be read in thirty seconds, by a person or by a machine.
AusGrant grew out of the same team's work in R&D tax incentives, where we spent a decade helping companies document and claim research activity across jurisdictions. Grants are the other half of that picture: non-dilutive funding most eligible companies simply never hear about. The index is our answer to the question clients asked most - "what else is out there for us?"
Coverage
Federal and provincial R&D programs - SR&ED, NSERC, NRC IRAP, Mitacs and provincial agencies from Alberta to Nova Scotia.
Method
Every record is sourced from the administering agency and reviewed weekly. Status and deadlines are re-verified on each pass.

How the weekly update works
Every week the AusGrant pipeline re-reads each official source - NSERC, NRC IRAP, Mitacs, the CRA and provincial agencies - adds newly announced programs, re-verifies amounts and deadlines, and retires anything that has closed. If a program is listed here, it was checked against its official source within the last week.
