NSERC DEADLINE: Thursday, April 15, 2010
INTERNAL DEADLINE: Monday, April 5, 2010 (Note: This is a FIRM deadline to ensure that all applications are properly reviewed.)

Note the following for this year's competition:

§ This will be the fifth and final competition using the current target areas. A review will be undertaken to determine the target areas that will be in effect for competition years 2011 to 2015.

§ Project management costs may now be included in the direct costs of research.

§ NSERC's new Policy on Intellectual Property (IP) is now in effect. An IP agreement for a Strategic Project grant is required when the proposed research is likely to result in a disclosure of IP.

§ Co-applicants from outside the natural sciences and engineering may be incorporated into the proposals.

§ Applicants are encouraged to incorporate international collaborations into their proposals. In particular, researchers are invited to respond to a call for collaborative proposals under agreements with the Agence nationale de la recherche in France or the National Science Council in Taiwan.
