NSERC‑National Science Foundation—Collaboration on quantum science and artificial intelligence

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on January 10, 2022 in Research Funding

This new NSERC-NSF collaborative research opportunity focuses specifically on discoveries and innovations in the areas of artificial intelligence and quantum science.

Each selected Canada-US project will be jointly funded by NSERC and the NSF, to support the activities of eligible researchers in their respective countries. NSERC’s contribution will be awarded to the eligible Canadian applicants in the form of one Alliance grant per successful application, to be administered by the Canadian principal applicant’s institution. NSERC’s funding is intended to support the activities of the eligible Canadian researchers, and must be used in accordance with the Tri-agency guide on financial administration.

Canadian eligibility: one Canadian university researcher, or a team of Canadian university researchers, who is eligible to receive NSERC funds can apply.

The Canadian researcher or team of researchers must submit a letter of intent (LOI) to NSERC at least eight weeks prior to the planned submission of the full proposal to the NSF. The LOI must outline the research proposed, research teams involved from both countries and annual estimates of funding to be requested from both the NSF and NSERC ($CAD).

Based on the review of your LOI, you may be invited to proceed with a full proposal to the NSF. Only proposals that have been invited to submit will be accepted.
