Description: |
Connect Grants provide targeted financial support to encourage post-secondary researchers at universities and/or colleges to connect with industry and other knowledge end-user communities in order to form new partnerships. Connect Grant recipients can be individuals at either an NSERC-eligible institution or a not-for-profit, non-government organization (including an industry association). Level 1 Connect Grants provide up to $5,000 for travel, accommodation and meeting costs for NSERC-eligible academic researchers at universities or colleges to undertake outreach aimed at forming new partnerships in natural sciences or engineering research with Canadian companies. As the objective is a new partnership, there must be no existing or past relationship between, on the one hand, the applicant or any researcher listed on the application and, on the other hand, the company or companies targeted.
Examples of an existing or past relationship between the company and academic researcher include:
-a previous research collaboration between the researcher and the company or any of its divisions;
-researcher's current or past involvement in the company;
-joint participation in a research network;
-researcher's existing association with the company or its principals (including if they serve as professors, adjunct professors or other colleague in the same university department);
-past or current supervision of a graduate student who is supported by an industrial scholarship or internship with the proposed partner;
-other evidence that a Connect Grant is not needed to foster a new research collaboration. |
