Application Details: |
Applicants who require equipment to conduct the research must incorporate their request for equipment into the research proposal and justify the need for the equipment to conduct the research. The Strategic Project Grants Program funds early-stage project research in targeted areas. To be funded, a research project must meet the following requirements:
-The project must support the goal of the SPG Program and fall within one of the targeted areas defined below.
-The objectives and scope of the project must be well-defined. The duration may be from one to three years.
- At least one academic researcher and at least one supporting organization must collaborate in the project.
- The supporting organization must be actively involved in all stages of the project; therefore, in-kind contributions are required, but cash is not.
Co-applicants from outside the natural sciences and engineering may be incorporated into the proposals. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate international collaborations into their proposals. In particular, researchers are invited to respond to a call for collaborative proposals under a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding between NSERC and the Agence Nationale de la Recherche in France.INDIRECT COSTS MUST NOT BE LEVIED ON THIS PROGRAM |
