It guides investments along three pillars − quantum research, talent and commercialization − toward achieving three key missions, in quantum computers and software, communications and sensors.

NSERC and the NRC are partnering through Alliance Quantum grants to launch a  to strengthen Canada's quantum research and innovation capacity in quantum sensing and advance the development and application of technologies in this domain for the benefit of Canadians.  and the  are also participating in this call for proposals through the provision of additional support toward projects.

Funding will support R&D partnerships among university researchers, NRC researchers and for-profit small- or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which are federally and/or provincially/territorially incorporated in Canada. Other organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors may join such partnerships.

NSERC will provide support toward eligible research costs incurred by the academic team. Through CSTIP, the NRC will provide contribution funding to the participating Canadian SME(s). Together, the two agencies will provide an envelope of up to $12 million over three years.
