Description
Nominators are advised to contact Ellen Steinhauer , Manager, Awards and Honours, for information on this program, if they are interested in these competitions.
Who can apply?
If you are an early stage academic researcher, meaning that you have held an independent academic position for 10 years or less as of June 1 of the year of the competition and currently hold a grant from NSERC, you can prepare a nomination for this award.
An independent academic position is a position that
- is a university faculty appointment (adjunct, non-tenured or tenured)
- requires that the researcher engage in research that is not under the direction of another individual
- authorizes the researcher to supervise or co-supervise the research of students registered in an undergraduate or graduate degree program, or postdoctoral fellows
A candidate submitting a nomination in June 2022 would have been hired on or after June 1, 2012. The 10-year eligibility window is adjusted to take into account eligible delays in research or periods of inactivity (e.g., due to parental leave, bereavement or illness). For example, a candidate submitting a nomination in June 2022 who took a 7-month parental leave after starting their appointment would have their eligibility window extended by 14 months. For delays related to COVID-19, the eligibility window is also increased by two months for every month of delay. You must identify any such periods in the Delays in research activity section of your Personal data form (form 100), and the impacts of the research delay should be clearly and fully described.
NSERC reserves the right to rule on the eligibility of nominees.
