Alliance grants
IMPORTANT PROGRAM CHANGE
Effective immediately, all new Option 1 applications may request up to 66.7% of the project costs (2:1 leverage) from NSERC, regardless of partner organization size or sector. This change does not affect or apply to applications submitted prior to June 23, 2023.
The remainder of our website and other program materials have not yet been updated to reflect this change. The above statement supersedes information on Option 1 cost-sharing (i.e., 50% cost-sharing / 1:1 leverage) that currently appears below and elsewhere.
If you have any questions, please contact us at alliance@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.
How to apply
- Following the instructions for completing an Alliance grant application, fill out the proposal template and complete the other sections of your application.
- In the case where your application involves one or more partner organizations from the private sector, including when they participate alongside other partner organizations from the public and/or not-for-profit sectors, also complete the National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships’ risk assessment form.
- Submit your completed application and supporting documents, including the personal data form with CCV attachment for the applicant and all co-applicants, through NSERC’s online system. Your partner organization’s contact person will be invited through the online system to provide information about the organization following the partner organization instructions.
You can apply at any time. The number of applications and review mechanism differ for each cost-sharing option (see Funding and Review).
Equity, diversity and inclusion
NSERC is acting on the evidence that achieving a more equitable, diverse and inclusive Canadian research enterprise is essential to creating the excellent, innovative and impactful research necessary to advance knowledge and understanding, and to respond to local, national and global challenges. This principle informs the commitments described in the Tri-agency statement on equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
Applicants are encouraged to consider sex, gender and diversity in the project’s research design. Diversity and gender equity should also be considered when developing the research team and considering how to promote and support a variety of forms of mentoring to ensure trainees’ equitable participation and growth. Applicants should refer to the Guide for applicants: Considering equity, diversity and inclusion in your application for more information.
