Description: |
Strategic Network Grants (SNG) Program is to increase research/training in targeted areas that could strongly enhance Canada's economy, society and/or environment within the next 10 years. The Strategic Network Grants program is a targeted program. Please check the target area descriptions on NSERC's website. New Strategic Network target areas and research topics are now in place. All applicants submitting a preliminary application starting in June 2014 must propose a network within which most of the research (minimum 80%) will investigate one or more of the research topics listed under the Strategic Network target areas. |

|
Application Details: |
Strategic Network Grants fund large-scale, multi-disciplinary research projects in targeted research areas that require a network approach and that involve collaboration between academic researchers and Canadian-based organizations. The applicant should be an established researcher with a solid track record in collaborative research, student training and grant management, and who demonstrates the leadership and other skills necessary for managing a complex, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional project.
Strategic Networks may be local, regional or national. NSERC has two application categories?A and B.
Program A.The proposed network will investigate a new collection of research objectives that do not build on previous network-scale activities and that have never been funded through the NSERC Strategic Network Grants Program, a Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) grant, or other federal or provincial network-scale granting programs. Program B:The proposed network will build upon a collection of research objectives that have been previously funded Co-applicants from outside the natural sciences and engineering may be incorporated into the proposals. Academic researchers outside the natural sciences and engineering may participate in Strategic Network proposals as co-applicants if they meet NSERC's eligibility requirements with respect to type, duration and nature of appointment. Research costs for these collaborations may comprise up to 30 per-cent of the project costs and must be identified in the budget.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM |
