Description: |
Connect Grants provide financial support for the Canadian research community to undertake activities that will help make Canada a country of discoverers and innovators for the benefit of all Canadians. These activities must advance NSERC?s Research Partnerships and/or one or more of the goals outlined in NSERC?s 2020 Strategic Plan. 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. |
