Northern Research – 2008 Northern Research Supplement Recipients
Northern Research Supplements help augment and promote Canadian university-based northern research and training. The main purpose of the program is to recognize the added logistical costs unique to conducting research in the Canadian North. Successful applicants receive a supplement to their NSERC Discovery Grant of up to $10,000 per year, for the duration of their Discovery Grant.
