10. Technology readiness level: The TRL measurement scale was developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is used internationally as a commonly accepted method to describe the maturity of a technology.

The Government of Canada's Clean Growth Hub has prepared a TRL assessment tool to help proponents and clean technology programs classify the TRL for the proposed technology to tested. As an Clean Technology Adoption-focussed program, the Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Adoption Program will consider support for a limited number of aquaculture projects that fall into levels:

7 (pilot-demonstration)
8 (pre-commercial)
9 (early commercial)
commercially available technologies on the TRL scale

TRL – 7: Prototype system ready (form, fit and function) demonstrated in an appropriate operational environment. A full scale prototype is being demonstrated in an operational environment but under limited conditions (i.e., field tests). At this stage, the final design is very close to completion.

Full scale prototype with ready form, fit and function developed
Full scale prototype demonstrated in an operational environment but under limited conditions

TRL – 8: Actual technology completed and qualified through tests and demonstrations. Technology is being proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions. This stage commonly represents the end of technology development. At this stage, operations are well understood, operational procedures are being developed, and final adjustments are being made.

Final configuration of the technology developed
Final configuration successfully tested in an operational environment
Technology's ability to meet its operational requirements has been assessed and problems documented; plans, options, or actions to resolve problems have been determined

TRL – 9: Actual technology proven through successful deployment in an operational environment. Actual application of the technology in its final form is being conducted under a full range of operational conditions. Sometimes referred to as “system operations”, this stage is where technology is further refined and adopted.

The technology has been successfully deployed and proven under a full range of operational conditions
Operational, test and evaluation reports have been completed

Commercially available technology: Development is complete. Technology is openly available in the marketplace and/or has been sold directly to a buyer in the public or private sector, in its current state or service offering for non-testing or development purposes. The technology is commercial and competitive but may need further integration efforts for wide spread adoption.

The technology is openly available in the marketplace and/or has been sold in its current state of service offering for non-testing or development purposes.

11. Equipment and/or facilities: As applicable, provide a description of the main equipment and/or facilities required during the project. This information can be from the manufacturer's website, operation manuals, etc. This space is available for any additional details the applicant wishes to share with FACTAP administrators to complete their information package.

12. Regulatory and/or other approvals and/or agreements: As applicable, discuss any anticipated regulatory or other approvals required, as well as any required agreements (e.g., Memorandum of Understanding, etc.) for all phases of the proposed project.

Identify the approvals/agreements received to date or outline the strategy that has been developed to obtain all necessary approvals/agreements. List anticipated timelines to obtain the regulatory approvals and/or agreements.

Note:

Any approved FACTAP funding will not be released until all necessary regulatory approvals are in place.

13. Employment benefits: Where appropriate, identify the number of jobs that would be lost without the investment and/or created as a result of the investment in clean technology.

The number of Full-Time Equivalent jobs that the proponent estimates would have been lost without the investment (at the project announcement).

One FTE is defined as an employed person who works at least 30 hours per week of paid labour. Part-time employees must be included as fractions of 1 FTE based on average labour hours compared to typical hours for 1 FTE employee.

14. Project work plan: As a cross reference, once all project expenses that are to be proposed for FACTAP funding are identified in the Project Work Plan, the sum of the activities should be the same as the totals obtained in sections 19 and 20 respectively. Any further questions related to this section should be directed to the regional aquaculture co-ordinator responsible for the applicants' region.

15. Major project milestones: In chronological order, identify and describe the project's major milestones, indicators of success, and the targeted completion dates.

Project milestones are defined as the achievement of specific activities necessary for the completion of the project (i.e. critical path to project success) and may span several of the project's activities.
These milestones can be related to any aspect of the project (e.g., technical, financial, management, etc.).

16. Environmental performance metrics: List specific details on environmental benefits (e.g. energy savings, improvements in waste water quality) to be achieved by your project.

Specific metrics (e.g. types of environmental improvement, targets and timelines) should be provided for FACTAP funded elements of your project only.
Provide details on how these savings will be measured (e.g. through utility bills, metered data collection and the units of measure such as kWh, liters of water, etc.).

Note:

Performance metrics identified within your proposal will be included as specific reporting requirements within the contribution agreements of successful proposals so ensure that the measures included are appropriate and reasonable in terms of their collection.

17. Estimated greenhouse gas reductions: For assistance in calculating reductions in GHG emissions you may wish to consult Natural Resources Canada's Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.

Please note:

The calculator does not include calculations for reductions in GHGs related to changes in diesel use. For assistance in calculating reductions in GHG emissions for diesel or other alternative fuels not included in the NRCan calculator above, contact the appropriate Regional FACTAP co-ordinator.

Alternative authoritative sources for calculating GHG savings will be accepted however, details of the calculation method and conversion factors must be provided as part of the application package.

18. Project risk assessment: Describe in detail the potential risks to delivering the project (technical, operational, financial, etc.), and mitigation strategies to be taken to address each of the risks identified. Risks could include, but are not limited to, events such as:

sudden unavailability of equipment or key personnel
poor weather
import issues across the Canadian border
delays in funding approvals
impacts due to the Covid-19 pandemic
others

Note:

The extent to which higher risks are considered acceptable will depend on how well they are identified, defined, assessed, planned for, and managed if they are encountered.

19. Budget: To enable the FACTAP to assess the reasonableness of the proposed project costs, the applicant must provide a detailed breakdown of all proposed project costs estimates to be covered by FACTAP funding only (excluding taxes).

As a cross reference, once all project expenses that are to be proposed for FACTAP funding are identified in the Budget section, the sum of the activities should be the same as the totals obtained in sections 14 and 20 respectively.

When providing the project expenses, please consider the following:

Only incremental (i.e. new or additional) costs deemed essential for the implementation of a project are eligible.
When entering travel and related costs, and conference and meeting costs, refer to the Directive on Travel, Hospitality, Conference and Event Expenditures for eligibility considerations.
Include supplier quotes to support specific cost items to the appendix, as applicable.
For each expense, indicate which fiscal year the expense will be incurred.
Applicants who receive FACTAP funding greater than $100,000 will be required to provide a third party audited statement of revenues and expenditures as part of project reporting. The cost of this audit can be included under the eligible project expenses as professional services.
Please enter expenses in chronological order for 2023-2024. Note that the Federal Government fiscal year runs from April 1st to March 31st each year.

20. Financing: Applicants should seek to leverage financing for their projects from other (non-FACTAP) sources, and this leveraging will be a key consideration in the evaluation of proposals. Increased leveraging will affect proposal scoring and possibility of receiving FACTAP support. Possible sources of investment include other government programs, the private sector, universities, associations, and research foundations, etc.

To enable the FACTAP to assess the feasibility of the project financing, the applicant must provide a detailed breakdown of all sources of financial support. As a cross reference, once all project expenses that are to be proposed for FACTAP funding are identified in the Financing section, the sum of the activities should be the same as the totals obtained in sections 14 and 19 respectively.

Identify all sources of funding confirmed or expected including the FACTAP contribution being requested. For multi-year projects, provide funding requirements for each fiscal year.

The FACTAP offers cash funding to cover up to 75% of eligible project costs. If approved, lower percentages of financial support may be offered.
Generally, project volunteers are non-professionals (e.g., students) and not considered as financial contributions.
If funding contribution is confirmed, the applicant must provide proof (e.g., letter of confirmation, legal agreement) for each source as appendices to this project proposal.

21. Additional proposal documents: Any questions related to this section should be directed to the regional aquaculture co-ordinator responsible for the applicants region.

22. Consent and certification: Any questions related to this section should be directed to the regional aquaculture co-ordinator responsible for the applicant's region.
