The Canadian Safety and Security Program (CSSP) is a federally-funded program that supports federal, provincial, territorial, municipal, and Indigenous governments in the development of innovative science and technology advancements that contribute to the safety and security of Canadians. Projects funded by CSSP strengthen Canada’s ability to anticipate, prevent, mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters, serious accidents, crime, and terrorism through the convergence of science and technology (S&T) with policy, operations, and intelligence.
The CSSP has just launched eight new challenges to improve safety and security capabilities through science and technology. Funding will be available for innovative solutions to the following eight challenges:
Wildfire firefighting ‘’Common operating picture’’;
Community resilience research;
Biometrics for defence and security;
Border security and domain awareness;
Position, navigation, and timing;
Detection of threat materials;
Preparation for neglected, emerging, and re-emerging diseases; and,
Risk reduction for small modular reactors (SMRs) and radiological-nuclear (RN) materials.
