The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CNSC Innovation Grant
COMP has an agreement with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) to fund one or more Innovation Grants to enhance the safe use of ionizing radiation in medicine.
The intent of the program is to support the development of innovative tools that address radiation safety and security issues. Examples include:
- Software systems to facilitate quality control of safety systems
- Tools to enable consistent and comprehensive equipment service logging
- Tools to enable sharing of quality control and equipment data
- Professional development/educational tools including the development of resources related to radiation safety training
2021 Innovation Grant Competition
The current Innovation Grant competition has $16,000 available to fund one or more successful projects.
