The Office of Research, Scholarship and Community Engagement is pleased to announce it will be hosting an on-campus roll-out session by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) on its new Alliance Grants - Canada's Research Partnerships Program. The materials that will be covered in this session are details that have already been posted on the NSERC website. This fall, NSERC will conduct a second round of presentations that will discuss the application process, how to apply, and what it takes to have a successful application.

Beginning May 21st, NSERC Alliance grant will start accepting applications in a phased-in approach (over $150,000 request per year from NSERC). Please note that NSERC will accept applications for Engage, Engage Plus and CRD and DND/NSERC grants until May 31, 2019.

Alliance grants encourage greater collaboration in Canada's R&D system by providing support for projects that include both generators and users of research results and knowledge. Alliance is designed to be more responsive and flexible for the research community and to accommodate a broader range of partners. It also includes incentives for collaborations with small and medium-sized enterprises and multi-sectoral partnerships and offers an accelerated means for projects to scale and grow.

For full details about the Alliance grants and how to apply, please visit the new Alliance grants webpage.

This session will be delivered via Zoom for those who are unable to attend in person. The Zoom link for attendees is https://zoom.us/j/442917132.
NOTE: This session will not be recorded and archived as previously advertised.

Please register by Friday, May 17th, if you plan to attend.
