Description: |
The objective of the Exploration stream of the NFRF program is to support high risk, high reward and interdisciplinary research that is not easily supported through funding opportunities currently offered by the three agencies. It seeks to inspire projects that bring disciplines together beyond traditional disciplinary or common interdisciplinary approaches by research teams with the capacity to explore something new, which might fail but has the potential for significant impact. Exploration grants aim to have a variety of types of impacts, some of which might be social, economic, scientific, artistic or cultural. This is not an exhaustive list; other types of impacts are also recognized. To encourage projects that push the boundaries in terms of interdisciplinarity, proposals must be submitted by research teams composed of at least two individuals. In addition to the nominated principal investigator (NPI), the team must include either a co-principal investigator or a co-applicant.
**Please consult the sponsors guidelines and the Western Research Officer for full submission requirements** |

Application Details: |
To ensure that Exploration grants support high risk, high reward projects across the broadest spectrum of disciplines, individuals may participate in only one Exploration stream application or grant at one time. Individuals can participate in only one application as either an NPI, a co-principal investigator or a co-applicant. Individuals cannot participate in any of these roles if they are a grantee or co-grantee on an active Exploration grant. These restrictions do not apply to collaborators. To apply for this Exploration grant, NPIs, along with a co-PI and/or co-applicants, must submit an NOI by August 27, 2024. The research team must then submit a full application by November 5, 2024.
Please use the LOI option when completing the ROLA proposal for this phase of the application process.
25% INDIRECT COSTS MAY BE INCLUDED AS A LINE IN BUDGET |
