Participant Funding Program status and decisions updated
The Participant Funding Program landing page now shows the current opportunity as Closed instead of Open, and the past opportunities link was removed from that page. The Participant Funding Program decisions page also added a new approved funding entry for Grand Conseil de la Nation W8banaki’s review of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories’ application to amend the Gentilly-1 waste facility licence, with a maximum amount of $4,840.00. A small update was also made to the funding application process page and the Participant Funding Program Guide, but those changes appear limited to a link target update rather than the application instructions themselves.
