Announcements

Consultation: Renewal of NSERC’s Research Partnership programs

The Government of Canada recently carried out a review of its Federal research and innovation programs, which guided Budget 2018. As a result, NSERC was directed to consolidate six of its partnership programs into a single funding opportunity.

New program framework

In creating the new program, NSERC would increase its responsiveness by streamlining business processes, by simplifying and modernizing the user experience and by reducing the time to make funding decisions.

The new program would:

  • Incentivize multi-sectoral partnerships that aim to accelerate the mobilization of research results, therefore increasing the potential impact of research investments for the benefit of Canada.
  • Recognize some non-profit organizations as partners in R&D projects and will costs-share towards project costs.
  • Support partnerships involving Canadian research organizations and other regional, national, or international initiatives through a limited number of joint targeted calls.
  • Include, in its adjudication process, an assessment of the value-added of the partnership and of the proposed strategy for using, applying and/or translating the research results for generating benefits for Canada.
  • Create a simplified, modernized and improved experience, and reduced decision times.
  • Accept proposals at any time to respond to partner timelines.

NSERC would also introduce the concept of scalability of a project to allow it to grow as the research partnership progresses and evolves.

For full details about the proposed structure, parameters and features, have a look at the Research and Partnerships Framework.

Have your say!

NSERC encourages you to share your questions, comments and perspectives on the renewal of our partnership programs. Email at any time at:  RPR@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.
