NSERC Discovery Grants: Support available for your Notification of Intent!

Posted on: Jun 22, 2021

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.

As a reminder:

  • A Notification of Intent (NOI) to apply must be submitted to NSERC by August 1st. For tips on how to prepare your NOI, contact CUE’s Office of Research Services at research@concordia.ab.ca.
  • Faculty members planning to submit an NOI are encouraged to send a copy of their NOI to research@concordia.ab.ca by July 21, 2021.
  • The deadline for full NSERC Discovery Grant applications is November 1, 2021.
