The DND/NSERC Discovery Grant Supplements, a joint initiative between the Department of National Defence (DND) and NSERC, aim to support unclassified university-based research dedicated to the development of non-weapon specific technologies with dual-use applications in defence and security target areas.

The Northern Research Supplements (NRS) program has been established to augment and promote Canadian university-based northern research and training. The main purpose of the NRS program is to recognize the added costs that are unique to conducting research in the Canadian North.

Arthur B. McDonald Fellowships recognize early-stage academic researchers in the natural sciences and engineering, and support them in enhancing their research capacity so that they can become leaders in their field and inspire others. NSERC awards up to six McDonald Fellowships each year.

Each fellowship includes a research grant of up to $250,000 and salary support of up to $180,000.

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to support:

• planning activities, partnership development and to increase understanding of the health research landscape that will contribute to the advancement of research consistent with the mandate of CIHR; and
• dissemination events and activities that focus on the communication of health research evidence to the appropriate researcher or knowledge user audiences, tailoring the message and medium as appropriate.
