Description: The CCAR initiative will support a limited number of large-scale research projects that are considered to be of high priority by both the Canadian academic research community and federal government departments. These projects will be led by world-class Canadian researchers and will comprise teams of university-based researchers and Canadian government scientists, along with international researchers and other partners (such as northern communities and/or the private sector). Their goal will be to generate substantial research results and transfer this knowledge for the benefit of Canada.

Application Details:

CCAR Grants are expected to: facilitate collaborative research between university researchers and Canadian government scientists, with the inclusion of other potential partners (such as northern communities and/or the private sector) and international researchers (including the Belmont Challenge Freshwater Security and Coastal Zone Vulnerability Initiatives) as appropriate; produce valuable results and knowledge that can be transferred and disseminated to federal departments and other end-users in order to maximize the impact for the benefit of Canadians. In addition to the general NSERC eligibility criteria, proposals must demonstrate active research participation of scientists from at least one federal government department.

Successful LOIs will be invited to submit a proposal and will be given further instructions regarding submission details and a logistics plan. The proposals will be evaluated by a Proposal Review Committee.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM
