NSERC CREATE Program - Internal Call for Expressions of Interest - Deadline: March 3, 2025

NSERC's Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) program supports the training and mentoring of teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that:

• encourage collaborative and integrative approaches, and address significant scientific challenges associated with Canada’s research priorities, and 
• facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce

For this year's competition, the NSERC CREATE program will still include the regular and international streams (as in the past, the international stream is linked to the German research foundation, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)). The 2026 CREATE competition will also involve a special theme area related to genomics.  Internal expressions of interest are due in the Office of Research March 3, 2025.  For information on Lakehead's NSERC CREATE LOI allocation as well the internal submission process, please click here.
