Description: |
Connect Grants provide financial support for the Canadian research community to undertake activities that will help make Canada a country of discoverers and innovators for the benefit of all Canadians. These activities must advance NSERC?s Research Partnerships and/or one or more of the goals outlined in NSERC?s 2020 Strategic Plan. Level 2 Connect Grants provide support for activities that will contribute to the goals of NSERC?s 2020 Strategic Plan, which positions NSERC as an enabler of discovery and innovation with a focus on the natural sciences and engineering (see College-based Applications for college applicant eligibility), and that will create value for Canada, as well as:
research planning and networking activities to develop new academic?industry partnerships;
activities or promotional tools to encourage new partnerships;
activities or promotional tools to increase student?industry training opportunities in natural sciences or engineering research.
Typical funding requests range from $1,000 to $5,000. For large-scale activities, requests of up to $25,000 may be considered. Funds must be used up to 12 months following the award start date. Potential applicants must discuss their proposed activities with NSERC Regional Office staff before applying. |
