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 highly qualified 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, include the acquisition of professional skills, and facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce. The program also supports industrial stream applications and offers opportunity to collaborate with the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in Germany. | |
|
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 Supplements (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. |
|
| 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. | |
| Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Invitation Fellowship Programs | |
| The Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS) Invitation Fellowship Programs promote international cooperation by allowing Japanese scientists to invite their foreign colleagues to Japan to participate in scientific research. | |
| NSERC Frontiers | |
| The NSERC Frontiers initiatives identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities where Canada can benefit from its world-class capacity to take a leadership role in key areas of research and innovation. NSERC Frontiers will address national research priorities and global challenges by supporting a small number of major new transformative and integrative initiatives. These initiatives will generate substantial impact from a one-time injection of funding for a defined period, addressing challenges in areas of national importance. | |
| Discovery Frontiers | |
| Discovery Frontiers (DF) grants support a limited number of large international activities, opportunities or projects that are of high priority in the context of advanced research in Canada. These will be led by world-class Canadian researchers and will comprise teams that will generate substantial impact for the benefit of Canada. The 2010 Call for Proposals is in the area of Northern Earth System Research. | |
| 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 | |
| Inter-American Collaboration in Materials Research | |
International Polar Year Projects in the Natural Sciences and Engineering |
