The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council is a Canadian government division that provides grants for research in the natural sciences and in engineering.
The Postgraduate School (PGS) A scholarship is $17000 CAD and is for students in their first or second year of graduate school.
The PGS B scholarship is $19000 and is for students in their third or later year of graduate school.
The Undergraduate Research Award pays half the salary of an undergraduate research assistant for one summer.
The female faculty award pays half the salary of a female faculty member and limits her teaching and administrative duties to allow her to concentrate on research.
The awards and grants are competitive. They are normally based on academic record, research ability, and economic utility of the research project. In addition, students studying in Canada have a competitive advantage over students studying in other countries.
Since total NSERC scholarship support is limited to a maximum of four years full-time equivalent, scholars are encouraged to complete their studies in an expeditious manner.
NSERC André Hamer Postgraduate Prizes are offered to two outstanding CGS recipients, one at the master’s and one at the doctoral level.
NSERC notifies applicants whose applications were submitted to NSERC of the results by mail by March 31.
This article is targeted at proposals for NSERC research grants, which are intended to provide basic support for an individual researcher's work.
NSERC does have a special committee for judging interdisciplinary proposals.
In an NSERC research proposal it is useful for the applicant to clearly define his/her personal contributions to joint research (there is a place for this in the PDF).
