The Innovation Challenge Awards honour graduate students in the natural sciences or engineering who have demonstrated an entrepreneurial spirit by identifying ways in which their research thesis results can be developed into products and processes to benefit Canadians. Since 2004, these awards have recognized and rewarded Canada’s brightest minds.

There is one first prize which includes a $10,000 cheque plus access to a professionally designed logo provided by private-sector sponsor HiretheWorld.com. There are also two $5,000 runner-up prizes. Honourable mention prizes may also be awarded if applications are deemed meritorious. The winners will receive a cheque and a certificate at an event hosted by NSERC.

Applicants must submit all documentation to the Innovations & Partnerships Office (IPO) by April 17, 2012. IPO will nominate up to two eligible candidates from the University.
