Description
NOTE: This program is being discontinued. Please refer to the new NSERC Alliance Grants for the latest information.
Connect Grants provide targeted financial support to encourage post-secondary researchers at universities and/or colleges to connect with industry and other knowledge end-user communities in order to form new partnerships. Connect Grant recipients can be individuals at either an NSERC-eligible institution or a not-for-profit, non-government organization (including an industry association).
Eligible applicants can apply for three levels of Connect Grant funding:
| Level 1 | For travel costs related to the development of new academic-industry partnerships in natural sciences or engineering research. |
| Level 2 | For regionally oriented activities or events aimed at developing or promoting new academic-industry partnerships in natural sciences or engineering research, as well as student-industry training opportunities. |
| Level 3 | For non-recurring, nationally oriented research planning workshops aimed at building substantial new research collaborations between post-secondary researchers and partners in industry, government, not-for profit or other knowledge end-user groups. |
All the activities (including travel, events, and workshops) must take place within Canada.
