Description: |
Jointly supported by the office of the Vice-President (Research) and the researcher's faculty, the Science & Engineering Review Board (SERB) Bridge Research Grant is targeted to established researchers who have been recently funded by NSERC; however, no longer hold a NSERC grant. Within one year of the application deadline, researchers must have unsuccessfully applied to an external NSERC competition. The purpose of this funding is to address specific deficiencies in the most recent grant submission, as highlighted in NSERC referee reports (such as HQP training, publication rate, generation of preliminary data, etc.), and increase the likelihood of success in subsequent grant competitions. Applications should be completed according to the posted instructions. All applications with a ROLA proposal must be submitted to Research Development & Services (RD&S) by 4:30 pm on the deadline date. If a deadline date falls on a weekend or statutory holiday, the deadline will be extended to the next business day. It is the responsibility of the researcher to ensure that all conditions are met and that the application is complete and submitted to RD&S as required. Late, ineligible or incomplete applications will not be accepted. |
