The industry partner must support at least 50 per cent of the eligible research costs (i.e., must provide at least 1:1 matching on the OCE contribution). The matching contribution may consist of cash and in-kind support, however a minimum of 25 per cent must be in cash.
For example, for a request from OCE for $20,000, the industry partner must provide matching contribution of $20,000 with at least $5,000 of this in the form of cash.
