Since the launch of NSERC’s Alliance International program in December 2021, over 520 Catalyst grants have been awarded to support Canadian university researchers collaborating with academic researchers in over 50 different countries. This funding opportunity has seen significant demand and NSERC has awarded grants above the target of 100 Catalyst grants per year.
NSERC is temporarily pausing the intake of applications to the Alliance International Catalyst grants program so that we can review and refine the objectives and optimize processes to ensure the funding opportunity’s continued impact.
This pause will take effect as of October 16, 2024, at 8:00 pm (ET). Applications received by October 16, 2024, will be processed, but applicants should expect a delay in funding decisions. Any applications currently in process must be submitted by that date, after which they must await the re-opening of the program. Award decisions will be subject to the availability of funds and may include a random selection process. NSERC will communicate when the funding opportunity re-opens.
The Alliance International Collaboration grants funding opportunity will remain open.
