Advancing Accessibility Standards Research Program

Status: Upcoming

Accessibility Standards Canada

Funds research projects that inform the development of next-generation accessibility standards within federal areas of responsibility. Two-step process: Expression of Interest, then invited application. Research-only programme, but accessibility-specific. The funder states the next call for funding is in 2027 and that it usually launches a call for Expressions of Interest each spring, so a spring 2027 EOI is a derivation from those two statements rather than a published date. The previously recorded January 16, 2026 closing date and April 2026 to March 31, 2029 project period are not on the current funder page.
