The Office of Research Services invites all eligible faculty members working in the fields of natural science and engineering to participate in NSERC’s Discovery Grants program.

CUE faculty members have recently been successful in this program: Dr. Ha Tran obtained CUE’s first NSERC Discovery Grant in 2019, followed by Dr. Baidya Saha in 2020. 

We hope that CUE researchers will continue to expand their impact in the natural sciences and engineering through this program!

If you are interested in applying, please contact the Office of Research Services (research@concordia.ab.ca) as soon as possible.
