Sponsor/Award: NATURAL SCIENCES & ENGINEERING RESEARCH - DISCOVERY GRANTS - 2016 FALL COMPETITION - FULL APPLICATION

Grant Amount: $15,000 MIN FOR UP TO FIVE YRS
Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Oct 25, 2016
Sponsor's: Nov 01, 2016

Subject Areas: Physical Sciences, Natural Sciences, Engineering
Description:

Discovery Grants (DG) Program support ongoing programs of research (with long-term goals) rather than a single short-term project or collection of projects. These grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances. Recipients of Discovery Grants (except Subatomic Physics [SAP] Project Grants) are not restricted to the specific activities described in the application, but may pursue new research interests, provided they are within NSERCs mandate.

A Notification of Intent to Apply (NOI) must be submitted by the deadline date of August 1, 2016, 8:00 p.m. (ET). NSERC will not accept an NOI after the deadline date. The NOI is mandatory when applying for a Discovery Grant. Applicants who do not submit a NOI cannot submit a full application. A proposal in the ROLA system is not required for the NOI, but is mandatory for the full application.

Application Details:

To apply for a Discovery Grant you must submit your NOI and the NSERC version of the Canadian Common CV (CCV) using the Research Portal. We encourage you to start completing your CCV early, as it can be time-consuming to populate the fields the first time. Researchers can apply for and hold only one Discovery Grant at a time. Researchers who hold a Discovery Grant cannot reapply for another Discovery Grant until the last year of their current award. If you currently hold a team grant and wish to apply individually, consult NSERC.

If you are applying for a renewal of your existing Discovery Grant, please choose the RENEWAL option for the ROLA proposal. Please contact rolahelp@uwo.ca if you require assistance with your renewal.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline. A ROLA Proposal (bearing applicant, Chair and Dean electronic approvals) is required for each submission.
