About
The Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) is a national not-for-profit membership-based organization playing a central role in helping to advance the establishment of a researcher focused, accountable, agile, strategic and sustainable digital research infrastructure (DRI) ecosystem for researchers in Canada.
Established in 2019, the Alliance works with DRI partners and community members across the country to fulfill its mandate to coordinate, operate and fund activities in advanced research computing (ARC), research data management (RDM) and research software (RS), and to advance the national DRI strategy.
The Alliance’s members include over 100 of Canada’s top universities, colleges, research hospitals and institutes, and other leading organizations in DRI. By working closely with local, regional and national partners, the Alliance will ensure that researchers across disciplines have access to the digital tools, services and infrastructure they need to conduct cutting-edge research.
The Alliance is funded by the Government of Canada through Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED).
