Grants Programs Overview

Collaborative Health Research Projects Program
The Collaborative Health Research Projects (CHRP) Program supports focused collaborative research projects in any field of the natural sciences and engineering which, if successful, will lead to health benefits for Canadians, more effective health services and economic development in health-related areas.
Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program
The Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program supports the training of teams of outstanding students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that encourage collaborative and integrative approaches, address significant scientific challenges associated to Canada's research priorities, and facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce.
Discovery Grants Program (Individual, Team and Subatomic Physics Project)
The Discovery Grants (DG) Program (Individual, Team and Subatomic Physics [SAP] Project) support ongoing programs of research. These grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all advances in research, whether made individually or in teams. Researchers are free to work in the mode most appropriate for the research area. Discovery Accelerator Supplements Program The Discovery Accelerator Supplement (DAS) Program will provide a Discovery Grant recipient with substantial and timely additional resources in order to accelerate progress and maximize the impact of the research program.
Discovery Grants – Northern Research Supplements Program
The Discovery Grants Northern Research Supplements (NRS) Program has been established to help augment and promote Canadian university-based northern research and training.
G8 Research Councils Initiative on Multilateral Research Funding
The Heads of the Research Councils of the G8 states (G8-HORCs) have established a multilateral funding initiative to create a new framework for conducting international research. The initiative aims at supporting excellent research on topics of global relevance which can best be tackled by a multinational approach.
Ship Time Program
The Ship Time (ST) Program is aimed at all researchers who intend to use a vessel for their NSERC-supported research in the coming year.
Special Research Opportunity Program
Special Research Opportunity (SRO) Program grants enable researchers to pursue new and emerging research opportunities at the time they become apparent, or investigate and develop potential new collaborations necessary to respond to these national and international opportunities.
