Description:

Research Tools and Instruments (RTI) grants foster and enhance the discovery, innovation and training capability of university researchers in the natural sciences and engineering by supporting the purchase of research equipment.

RTI Grants are one-year awards of up to $150,000 that assist in the purchase or fabrication of research equipment with a net cost between $7,001 and $250,000 (before taxes, customs and importation fees, transportation and shipping charges, assembly and installation costs). The research community is also encouraged to explore other avenues for funding research tools and instruments, including NSERC's other programs that include the purchase of equipment as eligible expenses, such as Discovery Grants. For information relating to Research Tools and Instruments Grants specific to Subatomic Physics please refer to the Subatomic Physics Research Tools and Instruments Grants Program.

Application Details:

*NEW* - Researchers can submit one RTI application per competition, either as an applicant or a co-applicant, but not as both. This requirement does not apply to Subatomic Physics applicants as their grant applications are reviewed and supported through a different multi-program envelope.

To apply, applicants must submit an Application for Research Tools and Instruments by the deadline date. Each applicant and co-applicant must also submit a Canadian Common CV (CCV). To create an Application, select Research Portal. Please see the sponsor website for full submission details

INDIRECT COSTS MUST NOT BE LEVIED ON 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.
