The Dairy Innovation and Investment Fund has a 2-stage application process:

Stage 1: Complete a project summary form
The project summary form helps to determine your project's eligibility and whether it meets the Program criteria and priorities.
Submit your complete project summary form by email to diif-fiisl@cdc-ccl.gc.ca by November 3, 2023.
Please contact the Program if you need help to complete and submit the project summary form.
Following the submission of your project summary form, a program officer may contact you to discuss your project. You may be invited to submit a project application package.
Stage 2: Complete a project application package
If you are invited to submit a project application package, the Program will send you the forms and instructions you will need. For a complete list of documents that must be included with the project application package, refer to Section 1.5: Application Process in the Applicant Guide.
After you submit your application package, the Program will confirm that your application has been received. You should not consider an application submitted to the Program until you receive this acknowledgement notice.
