NSERC Engage grants are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Humber. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects. A maximum grant of $25,000 over a period of normally six months will be awarded to support the project costs. Full details will be covered in the workshop.
Come to our party! And discover the simplified application and decision processes that will enable funding for your applied research project. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the (for-profit) company and to Canada and to build impactful longer-term collaborations between Humber and industry. This interactive and hands-on workshop series will acquaint participants with the process of applying for Engage grants. Participants will come away from the workshops with a greater sense of confidence and an understanding of what it takes to be successful.
