MINDS has partnered with the NATO Defense College (NDC), located in Rome, Italy, to offer members of the Canadian defence and security expert community an opportunity to conduct a five-month fellowship, from March to July each year, at the College as part of the NDC Research Division. The selected Fellow will receive a CAN$100,000 grant to cover all expenses related to this opportunity.

The objectives of the programme are as follows: 

These grants support short-term partnered research activities involving a postsecondary institution and a single organization from the public, private or not-for-profit sectors.

The objective of Idea to Innovation (I2I) grants is to accelerate the pre-competitive development of promising technology originating from the university and college sector, and to promote its transfer to a new or established Canadian company. I2I grants provide funding to college and university faculty members to support research and development projects with recognized technology transfer potential. This is achieved through defined phases by providing crucial assistance in the early stages of technology validation and market connection.

The Forest Sector Investment and Innovation Program provides funding for strategic investments in the forest sector that:

• other experts and organizations.

NSERC invites applications for initiatives that promote the natural sciences and engineering (NSE) to Canada’s young people, particularly to groups that are underrepresented in NSE careers.

PromoScience encourages a wide variety of organizations to apply for funding to help young Canadians in elementary school and high school (including the equivalent first year of college in Quebec) and their teachers/educators, to develop science and engineering skills and interests. Activities that will encourage Indigenous undergraduate students to pursue graduate studies in the NSE are also supported through this funding opportunity.

Applications must be submitted to NSERC by September 15, 2025, before 8:00 p.m. (ET).

The maximum grant amount is $200,000 per year for 3 years. Only one application may be submitted per organization or department in a given competition year.
