    Description

    The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) has a requirement to conduct an assessment of international practices and emerging trends in the funding of natural sciences and engineering, that impact how NSE research should be funded.

    The objective is to look at the role NSERC specifically plays in the Canadian landscape, and to compare this role with comparator organizations internationally.

    This assessment will provide a diagnostic on leading practices for funding NSE research, factoring in relevant trends and challenges. Recognizing differences between natural sciences and engineering (and across disciplines), as well as important factors that influence the relevance of international practices to the Canadian context, this assessment will identify practices that could inform future directions for NSERC research funding. It will also situate NSERC in Canada’s NSE funding ecosystem relative to NSE funding agencies in other countries.
