2012 NSERC Research grant competition
Successful Ryerson applicants
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) provides grants for postsecondary students, postdoctoral fellows and postsecondary professors who are engaged in scientific research. Over the last 10 years, NSERC has invested more than $7 billion in Canada's postsecondary institutions.
The NSERC Discovery Grants program supports long-term research projects that show creative and innovative promise.
NSERC Engage grants support short-term and development projects that involve a partnership between private-sector companies and academic researchers.
