It is time to start preparing your application for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada's (NSERC) Discovery Grants program.
Researchers who intend to apply for a Discovery Grant (DG) in the 2022 competition must submit a Notification of Intent to Apply (NOI) to the NSERC before the deadline of August 3, 2021, 8pm (ET). The NOI is now available on the Research Portal.
Once again, the Faculty of Social Sciences will be coordinating a voluntary proposal review initiative. We encourage colleagues to submit their proposals by email to Sophie LeTouzé by September 15th for pre-review. An incentive of $500 is offered to those who meet this deadline.
Key dates
- August 3 – Notification of intent to apply
- September 15 – Pre-evaluation deadline
- October 27 – Internal deadline
- November 1 – Application deadline
