Research Tips

• The "normal" NSERC program that everyone applies to is the discovery grant. You need to submit an "intent to apply" form 180 by August 15th, though that's a soft deadline.
• The office of UBC VP Research (VPRO) is at http://www.research.ubc.ca/. They have an incomplete calendar at http://info.research.ubc.ca/calendar_grid.asp which may show some funding opportunities. You have to login to get a full listing of what they have, but there's not a lot extra there. To get a password, you have to request a login and password from their site.
• The VPRO holds a workshop on NSERC discovery grants in September, which is well worth attending.

• Have something to add? Go for it!

• The NSERC website login can be found at https://ebiz.nserc.ca/nserc_web/nserc_login_e.htm
