NSERC CREATE Information Webinar for Prospective Applicants 

Event Date: 
Monday, February 9, 2026 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm EST
Event Location: 
Online

NSERC’s Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program awards grants of up to $1.65M over 6 years for the development of innovative training programs designed to enhance collaboration and facilitate the transition of trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce.

In preparation for the next CREATE competition, the CREATE team will hold an information session via MS Teams webinar to provide an overview of the CREATE program and application process. Although the CREATE program’s processes remain unchanged from last year, important information will be conveyed at this session, including the special call supported through quantum funding announced in Budget 2025 as part of the upcoming Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS). Your attendance is highly recommended.

The webinar will be recorded. Following the presentation, a link to that recording will be emailed to this distribution list or upon request so that those who are unable to attend may watch the recorded webinar later at their convenience.

Researchers may send any questions regarding the CREATE program and/or the application process in advance to create@nserc-crsng.gc.ca so that we may address them in the presentation.
