Alliance International Collaboration Grants

Eligible Canadian university researchers may apply to NSERC for funds to collaborate with international university researchers on innovative natural sciences and engineering research projects in areas of global importance. Funding is awarded to projects of high scientific merit that bring together complementary expertise and demonstrate clear benefits to Canada.

The Canadian and international teams must jointly prepare an application that clearly describes both teams and their respective roles in the project. The international collaborator must submit the application to their national funding agency for peer review and funding consideration. If successful, the Canadian team may apply to NSERC for funding to support Canadian research activities no later than 120 days after the international collaborator receives the official international award letter.
