Latest change: The Bruce Power funding opportunity was replaced by a broader Participant Funding Program page with new eligibility, application, and funding details, including an open opportunity for $30,000 from April 8 to May 4, 2026.
Participant Funding Program updated
The Bruce Power mid-term update opportunity page now shows a broader Participant Funding Program structure instead of only the 2023 Bruce Power decision content. It now lists who can apply, ineligible applicants, eligible and ineligible costs, the 3-step application process, and payment timing within 30 days of a valid final financial report; the page also shows an open funding opportunity for Bruce Power’s lutetium-177 production process with a maximum of $30,000 and an application period of April 8 to May 4, 2026. The older Bruce Power notice said the opportunity was open from April 11 to May 12, 2023, offered up to $75,000, and required applications by May 12, 2023. The contact email remains pfp@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca, but the overall scope and funding terms are now presented as part of the general program rather than only the legacy Bruce Power notice.
