Research Alerts: NSERC-OCE New Industrial R&D Fellowships

NSERC-OCE New Industrial R&D Fellowships

Please reply to: Hema Prabhu (innovations.partnerships@utoronto.ca)

Recognizing the need to invest in the development of highly qualified recent graduates, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) are partnering to enable Ontario small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to enhance their R&D capacity with the addition of highly skilled graduates. Industrial R&D Fellowships (IRDFs) provide financial support to recent doctoral graduates in science and engineering to pursue R&D careers in the private sector.

Through these new jointly-funded fellowships, candidates are eligible for a maximum salary of $75,000 per year for a two-year period. NSERC and OCE will each commit up to $30,000 and $20,000 per year, respectively. The qualifying industrial partner is responsible for committing $25,000 per year and any additional benefits they choose to offer.
