Description
The Subatomic Physics (SAP) Discovery Grants program (project) supports the development and sustainability of a diverse, high-quality research base in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE) at Canadian universities, fosters research excellence and strengthens the research training environment.
To apply for a SAP Discovery Grant (project), applicants must first submit a notification of intent to apply (NOI) by the deadline date. The NOI is a mandatory step in the application process. The information contained in the NOI allows NSERC to start some aspects of the review process, including confirmation of assignment to the Subatomic Physics Evaluation Section, the selection of appropriate external reviewers, and the verification of the eligibility of the subject matter. Applicants must then complete and submit the application by the full application deadline date.
