Full and partial grants
Access calibrated to the project.
Research Access Grants may cover 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of eligible canXcer project-access costs for an approved project and period. The award percentage reflects the project’s reviewed need and scope.
Award levels
Four levels of project-specific support
An application is not a promise of an award. When an application is selected, the approved percentage and eligible access costs are documented before access begins.
50%
canXcer covers 50% of eligible project-access costs; the researcher or team covers the remaining 50%.
75%
canXcer covers 75% of eligible project-access costs; the researcher or team covers the remaining 25%.
100%
canXcer covers 100% of eligible project-access costs approved for the awarded project and period.
Decision factors
What reviewers consider
Scientific merit
The clarity and strength of the research question, hypothesis, rationale, and proposed approach.
Feasibility
Whether the proposed work can be responsibly completed within the requested scope and current platform capabilities.
Potential impact
The importance of the question and the value of the evidence or decision the work could produce.
Resource need
The applicant’s access constraints, research gaps, and need for governed computational infrastructure.
Platform fit
Alignment with available canXcer methods, evidence, compute, governance, review, and capacity.
Responsible scope
A clearly identified project, team, period, data description, expected outcome, and next-step plan.
Award questions
Coverage, access, and ownership
Is a Research Access Grant a cash award?
The award covers an approved percentage of eligible canXcer project-access costs. It is not unrestricted cash funding.
How is the award percentage selected?
The percentage is determined through private review of scientific merit, clarity, feasibility, potential impact, resource need, access gaps, platform fit, and available grant capacity.
Does a 100% award provide unlimited platform access?
No. Research access and compute entitlement are separate. A 100% research-access grant does not provide unlimited GPU usage. Compute requires an explicit allowance with resource, cost, per-job, concurrency and expiration limits. Every award remains limited to its approved project, team, period, methods and agreement terms.
Does canXcer automatically own a researcher’s work or existing intellectual property?
No. canXcer does not automatically own a researcher’s work or pre-existing IP. Any applicable commercialization, licensing, IP, revenue-participation, or other terms are defined in the project-specific agreement before access is awarded.
Is an award guaranteed after applying?
No. Submission begins private eligibility review and does not guarantee an award, percentage, project, workspace, or researcher role.
Private application / no sign-in required
