Research project selection
Novalait is constantly on the lookout for new initiatives to meet the research priorities of Quebec dairy producers and processors. We are committed to ensuring the excellence and relevance of each selected project through a rigorous selection process.
Our project selection process
- Identifying needs
We work closely with our dairy producer and processor shareholders to identify priority research needs.
- Call for proposals
We are launching calls for proposals open to researchers and research institutions in order to gather innovative ideas.
- Rigorous assessment
Each proposal is carefully evaluated by a committee of experts according to strict criteria of relevance.
- Final selection
The most promising projects are selected for funding, ensuring that each initiative supported meets identified needs and high standards of quality and innovation.
Thanks to this methodical process, Novalait invests in projects that are relevant to the Quebec dairy industry.
Novalait continuously welcomes project ideas
Submit a letter of intent
The submission of a letter of intent is the first step in the development of projects between our research teams and our industrial committees. The aim of this process is to propose projects that meet the needs of the dairy industry. A period of 8 to 12 weeks is required for evaluation, and this letter is essential to obtain Novalait’s support.
For further information, please contact Élise Gosselin, General Manager of Novalait.
