Description
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) are separate federal granting agency that support scholarly endeavours in Canadian universities. More specifically, NSERC supports researchers and university students in their advanced studies, promotes and supports discovery research, and fosters innovation by encouraging Canadian companies to participate and invest in post-secondary research projects. SSHRC promotes and supports university-based research and training in the humanities and social sciences. Standard research grant applications are adjudicated using the peer review process, where available funds are awarded, through a competitive process. Research grants adjudication committees made up of scholars from the research community evaluate and rank all applications. Both members and external reviewers devote considerable time and effort, on a volunteer basis, to reviewing thousands of applications per year and making award recommendations. In order to review all the grant proposals submitted, NSERC holds its annual competition in February and SSHRC holds its annual competition at the beginning of March. Due to the nature of the event, both NSERC and SSHRC require accommodations for the large number of attendees. This Request for Proposal identifies the requirements for these accommodations and various other events and/or committee meetings that occur throughout the year.
