Changes from 2025 Competition Year
NSERC has removed their quota system for this coming year鈥檚 Letter of Intent (LOI) phase allowing for an unlimited number of LOIs to be submitted per institution. This means last year鈥檚 internal Expression of Interest phase has been withdrawn. However, the LOI stage will be semi-competitive听-听NSERC will听select听a specific number of LOIs from each institution to听advance to听the application stage.听The number of LOIs that will be selected from 9 1免费版下 submissions is two (2).
Given these program changes, 9 1免费版下 will not be undertaking an internal LOI selection process as we have done in previous years.
To accommodate these changes, please see below for important dates related to this funding program. Interested applicant teams are encouraged to contact their Faculty (e.g. Faculty Research Facilitator) to inquire after any additional deadlines internal to their department and/or Faculty.
