View change
PSOPs funding application updated
The PSOPs page now adds a dedicated funding application section that asks applicants to submit a concept paper of up to 3 pages, with supporting documents including proof of legal status and financial statements for the past two fiscal years. It also now specifies that concept papers must be emailed in English or French in .doc, .docx or .pdf format before a full proposal invitation can be issued. The program description has been reframed toward hybrid threats, supply chains, NATO and United Nations cooperation, and priority regions, with a new emphasis on countering hybrid threats, advancing economic security, protecting civilians, and supporting peace operations.
