How to Apply for IRAP Innovation Grants
The Short Answer: IRAP covers up to 80% of technical staff salaries ($150K-$500K typical first project). You cannot apply online — call 1-877-994-4727 and request an ITA consultation. Monthly approval cycles make it one of Canada's fastest innovation grants.

The 'ITA' Factor
You cannot apply for IRAP through a portal. You must be 'invited' by an Industrial Technology Advisor (ITA). Your first step is not filling a form, but calling IRAP (1-877-994-4727) to request a consultation.
