Description
MEMORIAL’S INTERNAL DEADLINES FOR NSERC CREATE
NSERC has confirmed that Memorial University will have a quota for a maximum of four (4) applications that may be endorsed at the LOI stage to go forward for the NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program opportunity.
To this end, there will be an internal submission process through Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) PRIOR TO THE NSERC DEADLINE to facilitate the selection of LOI’s to go forward (see below).
If you are intending to submit an LOI for internal committee consideration as part of MUN’s quota, please initiate a discussion with your Associate Dean (Research) and Grants Facilitator(s) as soon as possible. As this program is intended to support training programs which are self-sustaining beyond the period of the grant it is critical that faculty are in support of the program being proposed.
RIS will be offering additional support to those applicants selected through Memorial’s internal process. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) in advance of the internal deadline for preliminary discussions regarding their LOI.
