Calibrating Our Vision with the 2024 CSSP Call for Proposals
The Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP) has unveiled its 2024 Call for Proposals, focusing on critical areas like wildfire intelligence, mass care in emergencies, identifying and mitigating risk with small modular nuclear reactors and critical infrastructure protection. This initiative strongly resonates with NC-CIPSeR’s ongoing efforts and strategic vision. If NC-CIPSeR was further developed, I suspect we would be able to develop collaborative partners in most of the challenges.
As we continue to build our foundation while developing our capacity through innovative solutions for protecting Canada’s critical infrastructure, it’s clear we’re on the right track. Our work aligns perfectly with the CSSP’s emphasis on advancing safety and security through science and technology. This call reaffirms the importance of our initiatives. The CSSP proposal is an excellent engagement opportunity to meet with innovators and to collaborate with a host of partners.
How many proposals get submitted and assessed? How many of the proposals transition into further stages? What has been the impact of the CSSP Challenges? This would be an interesting white paper.
Call to Action: Let’s contribute to shaping a more secure and resilient Canada. Find innovators and generously propel them forward.
