Description: |
The New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) will invest $275 million over the next five years, and $65 million ongoing, to support international, interdisciplinary, fast-breaking and high-risk research. It is comprised of three streams to support groundbreaking research:
Exploration will generate opportunities for Canada to build strength in high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research;
Transformation will provide large-scale support for Canada to build strength and leadership in interdisciplinary and transformative research; and
International will enhance opportunities for Canadian researchers to participate in research with international partners. The objective of this inaugural competition is to generate opportunities for early career researchers (ECRs) to conduct high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research not available through funding opportunities currently offered by the three agencies. It seeks to inspire highly innovative projects that defy current research paradigms, propose a unique scientific direction, bring disciplines together beyond the traditional disciplinary approaches, and/or use different perspectives to solve existing problems.

Application Details: |
For this competition, early career researchers are defined as individuals who have five years or less experience since their first academic appointment as of the January 1, 2019, with the exception of career interruptions (e.g., maternity or parental leave, extended sick leave, clinical training, and family care) that occurred after their appointment. Part-time positions are also taken into consideration. For maternity or parental leave, the five-year window is extended by an amount equal to twice the time interruption taken. In the case of a first academic appointment having been a part-time appointment/position, TIPS will count the years of experience following it at 50% until the time of an appointment to a full-time academic position. Additional details are available in the frequently asked questions. Individuals can participate in only one application as a nominated principal investigator, co-principal investigator, or co-applicant in this competition. Furthermore, for future Exploration competitions, individuals cannot participate as a nominated principal investigator, co-principal investigator or co-applicant on a proposal if they are already a grantee or co-grantee of an Exploration award. This restriction does not apply to collaborators.25% INDIRECT COSTS MAY BE INCLUDED AS A LINE IN BUDGET |
