Program

Collaborative Research & Development (CRD) and Engage/Engage Plus Grants

Description

Budget 2018 directed NSERC to consolidate its Research Partnership grants into a single grant program in an effort to modernize, simplify and improve the grants. As such, Alliance Grants will consolidate Engage grants, Industrial Research Chairs grants, Connect grants, Strategic Partnership grants for Networks and Projects, Experience awards, and Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) grants.

Applications to the Collaborative Research and Development grants program, as well as to the Engage and Engage Plus programs will be accepted until May 31, 2019. The Office of Research Services (ORS) must receive any applications for these programs no later than two (2) weeks before this deadline, May 17, 2019, to ensure a complete review and appropriate approvals are received prior to final submission to NSERC.

All ongoing awards, as well as all new commitments made before the launch of Alliance Grants will be honored until their completion under the terms and conditions of the original award. All applications for grants in the programs that have been consolidated that were received before the respective program’s application deadline will be evaluated and adjudicated according to the original rules and criteria.
