NSERC has launched a new on-line ‘matchmaking’ tool that permits prospective Alliance Grant partner organizations to post their COVID-19 research interests for viewing and response by the academic research community. This service is currently restricted to projects being developed for the Alliance Grant COVID-19 special call.
The new service takes the form of a web-based one-way posting board. Partner organizations post their COVID-19 research interests anonymously. Academic researchers can view the full set of postings (filterable by region) and click on the ones that interest them. NSERC will then link the two parties off-line so that the match-up remains confidential. Full instructions are available on the new website.
Deadline for applications for the NSERC Alliance Grant COVID-19 special call is June 1st. Successful applications will be funded on a first-come, first-served basis. The COVID-19 special call has been funded to the extent of $15 Million and applicants are permitted to request NSERC funding of up to $50,000 for projects of up to one year in duration. Turnaround time for applications is approximately 4 weeks. Partner organizations can come from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. Partner organizations are not required to make a cash contribution but must meet be eligible for NSERC cash-matching, per the regular Alliance Grant application requirements.
