Description:

Educational institution research awards are designed to encourage research at Canadian universities and colleges in areas of interest to Imperial Oil’s petroleum, petrochemical and energy resource development businesses. These areas include the fields of engineering, environmental, earth, chemical, and physical sciences. Awards for specific research projects are made to full-time faculty members to support research work carried out by university students under their direction.

Application/Nomination Process:

Applicants are reminded that University policy requires research proposals to be approved by the applicant’s Department Chair, Faculty Dean, and McMaster Industry Liaison Office (MILO) prior to submission to Imperial Oil.  Accordingly, applicants are asked to provide MILO with a copy of their proposal, and MILO Sponsored Project Checklist, both signed by their Chair and Dean, by December 20th, 2023, to allow MILO sufficient time to review/approve the proposal and, if necessary, provide comments. After Dec. 20th, applicants can submit their applications directly to ura.sru@esso.ca with Ross Huyskamp copied. Under both scenarios, a fully signed sponsored project checklist should be submitted to MILO ahead of submission.
