CIHR has launched targeted consultations with the health research community to address the quality of peer review in the Project Grant competition, its largest funding program. To support this work, CIHR is hosting a series of open webinars that will provide an overview of the current challenges in the peer review system, followed by a discussion of potential interventions (e.g., moving to one competition per year, restricting applications, capping resubmissions). Feedback gathered through these consultations will inform a position paper outlining options for improvement, which will be shared with the community for broader consultation later this summer.

As noted in last week’s communication regarding the Mitacs Accelerate Defence and Security Call, Mitacs is hosting a live info session to share further details about this competitive funding opportunity. 

The English webinar will take place on June 16 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET. 

During the session, a representative from the Department of National Defence will provide an overview of the priorities behind Canada’s Defence Industrial Strategy. The session will also feature a panel discussion with representation from industry and academia, and an open Q&A period where you can ask your questions live.

This webinar will address questions relating to the Knowledge Synthesis Grants - The Changing Nature of Security and Conflict competition.

NSERC offers a series of pre-recorded videos and live Q&A sessions designed to assist the research community in completing an application using the Research Portal and the NSERC Canadian Common CV (CCV). Below is a link to the pre-recorded NOI videos as well as the schedule for the upcoming live Discovery Grants (NOI) Q&A sessions.

Preparation for Live Q&A Sessions

We ask that participants view the pre-recorded videos prior to attending a live Q&A session, as the material presented in the videos will not be repeated.

In addition, we invite participants to familiarize themselves with the following documents:

• Memo to potential applicants - Notification of intent to apply for a Discovery Grant (2027 competition)
• Discovery Grants (individual) program description and instructions for completing an NOI
• How to complete NSERC’s version of the Canadian Common CV

Participation in Live Q&A Sessions

Participants may submit questions in advance (during the week prior to each session) and during the session itself using the Slido link provided for each event.

Please note the following:

• Advance registration is required to attend the sessions (via MS Teams)
• Sessions will open 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time
• Due to anticipated high attendance, NSERC staff may not be able to address all questions during the sessions. Any additional inquiries may be directed to the NSERC Discovery support team by email at resgrant@nserc-crsng.gc.ca.

Consult the Live Q&A sessions page regularly to learn about upcoming sessions.
