Deadlines
Academic Unit: Inquire with Unit
Memorial Deadline: Inquire with Unit
External Deadline: Thursday 1st, November 2018
Description
A new process was established beginning September 2013 whereby Academic Units will be assuming the responsibility for institutional review and electronic submission of applications for the CIHR Project, CIHR Foundation, SSHRC Insight, SSHRC Insight Development, and NSERC Discovery and RTI Grants competitions. Research Grant and Contract Services will no longer be completing the electronic submission for these grants, but will be supporting Academic Units in their review of applications as they may require. If you are intending on applying to any of these competitions, please contact your Grants Facilitation Officer, Associate Dean (Research) or equivalent unit signatory to obtain information on deadlines and processes for institutional review and electronic submission for your unit.
Note: Notification of Intent to Apply submission is mandatory – due by August 1, 2018
The Subatomic Physics (SAP) Discovery Grants Program assists in:
- promoting and maintaining a diversified base of high-quality research capability in the natural sciences and engineering in Canadian universities;
- fostering research excellence; and
- providing a stimulating environment for research training.
Description
The SAP Discovery Grants Program supports ongoing programs of research (with long-term goals) rather than a single short-term project or a collection of unrelated projects that do not contribute to a cohesive program of research. These grants recognize the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research advances, whether made individually or in teams. Researchers are free to work in the mode most appropriate for the research area.
NSERC recognizes that while being of a grant-in-aid nature, SAP Discovery Grants must be sufficient to support a program of quality research that can have a meaningful impact on the field of study.
NSERC does not consider requests for supplements to existing SAP Discovery Grants, except for Steacie Fellows. Grant recipients may, however, apply for all other types of NSERC grants.
There are two types of SAP-DG: Individual and Project.
See NSERC’s website for additional details on the program.
