Description: |
The Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program supports the training of teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that:
- encourage collaborative and integrative approaches, and address significant scientific challenges associated with Canada's research priorities; and
- facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce. The CREATE Program will offer two new opportunities within its current budget envelope: Industrial Stream & International Collaboration. The training program's excellence in the full proposal will be assessed in relation to its: innovative, collaborative and integrative character; capacity to better prepare trainees for the workforce; and potential to support teams of outstanding students and postdoctoral fellows. |

Application Details: |
Successful applicants will consist of a group of accomplished researchers, who will work collaboratively to offer a defined research training program to a group of trainees. This environment will provide trainees with experience relevant to both academic and non-academic careers. The research training experience can target any trainee level: undergraduate students, graduate students (master's and doctoral) and postdoctoral fellows. Successful applications will be those best able to demonstrate the benefits of their proposed research training experience to their targeted trainees.

For the industrial stream: one official letter from the industrial participant(s). The entire application process is performed using NSERC?s On-line System.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
