How to apply
To apply for any open funding opportunity with Grand Challenges Canada, you must submit your application through our online grants management system, called Fluxx.
Fluxx helps us manage applications efficiently and ensures that your submission is securely stored and reviewed.
We’ve put together a Fluxx Reference guide to help you navigate the application process, and have included instructions on how to register and get additional support below.
