The Office of the Vice President (Research) and the Office of Research Services have launched an NSERC Mentoring Program designed to improve our application rate, our success rate and our awarded amounts in the annual NSERC Discovery Grants competition.

We are currently seeking a new mentor, who will be coordinating the program in his capacity as Academic NSERC Mentoring Coordinator with assistance and administrative support from Lori Foster, Research Services. We will be working together to try to demystify the application and peer-review process. A number of grantsmanship workshops will be held in the Spring and Summer terms. This WEB site was designed to help with the Mentoring Program.
