Summary

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) has issued a call for proposals for its 2024-25 Contributions Program, focusing on addressing the privacy impacts of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and generative AI, and protecting children's privacy in the digital era. The program provides funding for innovative research and public awareness initiatives that fall within the scope of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The maximum funding available per project has been increased to $100,000, and proposals must be submitted by February 21, 2024. Eligible projects must address issues related to privacy, and applicants are encouraged to review previous or ongoing projects funded under the Program. The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of merit.
