Strategic Partnership Grants for Networks (SPG-N) fund large-scale, multidisciplinary research projects in targeted research areas that require a network approach and that involve collaboration between academic researchers and Canadian-based organizations. The applicant should be an established researcher with a solid track record in collaborative research, student training and grant management, and who demonstrates the leadership and other skills necessary for managing a complex, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional project.

Applicants must identify where similar networks exist; justify, in the preliminary application, the appropriate category for their application; and commit to fulfill the requirements of that category if invited to submit a full application.

Application Details:

All applicants submitting a preliminary application must propose a network within which most of the research (minimum 80 percent) will investigate one or more of the research topics listed under the Strategic Network target areas. Check the target areas before preparing your application.

NSERC must receive the preliminary application by the deadline date. Applicants invited to submit a full proposal must do so within six months of the notification of acceptance of the preliminary application.
