Description:

Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.

If you are an applicant who is an early career researcher you can apply for a $10,000 voucher to replace some or all of the required cash contributions from your partner organizations. Vouchers are being offered through a pilot program to make it easier for early career researchers to participate in Alliance Advantage grants and to involve partner organizations.

Application Details:

If you are a Canadian university researcher who is eligible to receive NSERC funds, you can apply on your own or as a team with co-applicants who are also eligible academic researchers. You must have at least one partner organization (in the private, public or not-for-profit sector) whose cash contributions will be recognized for cost-sharing (see Alliance grants: Role of partner organizations) but you may include other partner organizations who play an important role in your research project whether or not their cash contributions are recognized for cost sharing.

You must submit an LOI to NSERC using the NSERC online system at any time before February 22, 2024. NSERC eligibility criteria for faculty and NSERC?s definition of an ECR apply. The LOI does not require identifying a partner organization or defining a research project.

INDIRECT COSTS NOT LEVIED ON NSERC PORTION OF THIS PROGRAM
