Description

Office of Research Services (ORS) in partnership with the NSERC-eligible Colleges are pleased to offer an opportunity to connect with University of Guelph NSERC Discovery Grant Evaluation Group (EG) members in a virtual, small-group session.

This session is for UG faculty members who are intending to apply to the upcoming NSERC Discovery Grant competition, including faculty who will be submitting an application for the first time, re-applying after an unsuccessful round, or 'renewing' their current grant. 

This session is meant to complement NSERC's Discovery-specific on-demand webinars. ORS will provide introductory information on the application sections and deadlines to be aware of for the upcoming 2021/22 competition cycle, while UG EG members will provide an overview of the top tips/tricks for success and roundtable Q&A for your specific EG. These targeted break-out sessions will also allow you to connect with other researchers in your EG and internal resources from ORS and your College.

Agenda:

10:00 am: ORS Overview of Key Dates and Application Sections/Considerations

10:15 am: EG-Specific Q&A Break-Out 

For questions related to the NSERC Discovery Grant program, please connect with the following internal supports:
