NSERC Strategic Networks (now called Strategic Partnership Grants for Networks) (SPG-N)
The objective of the Strategic Partnership Grants for Networks (SPG-N) is to increase research and training in targeted areas that could strongly enhance Canada's economy, society and/or environment within the next ten years.
SPG-N funds large-scale, multidisciplinary research projects in targeted research areas that require a network approach and that involve collaboration between academic researchers and Canadian-based organizations. The applicant should be an established researcher with a solid track record in collaborative research, student training and grant management, and who demonstrates the leadership and other skills necessary for managing a complex, interdisciplinary, multi-institutional project.
All applicants submitting a preliminary application must propose a network within which most of the research (minimum 80 percent) will investigate one or more of the research topics listed under the Strategic Network target areas. Check the target areas before preparing your application.
