CLIENT INTAKE FORM

Do you have a challenge you're looking to solve?

We may be able to help at the Centre for Applied Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CARIE). Our team functions as a bridge between industry clients and the expertise of Lethbridge Polytechnic's (LP) dedicated researchers, faculty, and staff.

CARIE Bridge Process

The first step in our CARIE Bridge Process is the Client Profile Form (CPF) that assists us in matching your specific need with LP expertise and/or our Regional Innovation Network of Southern Alberta (RINSA) Partners.

If there is a potential match with LP, the next step may be a Bridge Meeting between the client, LP researchers, and the CARIE office to determine pathways for the project. Anyone interested in working with LP for research or technical services is required to complete a CPF.
