Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC)
Funding opportunity for COMP members: Innovation in radiation safety
COMP is pleased to announce an exciting funding opportunity that has been made available to COMP members by the CNSC. The aim is to support the development of innovative tools that address radiation safety and security issues. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- the development of software to facilitate quality control of safety systems
- tools that enable consistent and comprehensive equipment service logging, and
- systems that facilitate sharing of quality control and equipment servicing data.
In keeping with the CNSC's policies, any content developed will be made free and widely available for all COMP members and the broader Canadian medical physics community.
Support will be awarded to a maximum of $30,000. To apply for this funding, please click here to access the word document form to be completed and submitted by November 30, 2019.
