NSERC has recently announced the launch of its new, much-awaited partnership offering, the Alliance Grant. Alliance will eventually become the cornerstone of NSERC's collaborative-research funding vehicles, replacing such familiar grants as CRD, Strategic, and Engage. Because these outgoing grants have become such an important part of most STEM researchers' funding strategies, it will be of critical importance for you and your research team to gain an early understanding of how the new Alliance Grant will work - partner eligibilities, funding calculations and limits, evaluation criteria, application procedures and timelines, and so on.

To that end, Kristina Archibald and John Jackson from NSERC's Alliance program team will be visiting us to provide an introductory workshop for interested researchers. We invite you to attend the Alliance Grant workshop that will be held at Queen's on May 29, 10am in Kinesiology Room 100.
