Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE)/International Graduate Research Training (IRTG) | National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and DFG
Applications open annually- Letters of intent must be submitted by May 1 Value: Up to $150,000 in the first year and up to $300,000 for up to five subsequent years, for a maximum of $1.65M over 6 years. The Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program supports the training of teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that: - encourage collaborative and integrative approaches, and address significant scientific challenges associated with Canada’s research priorities; and - facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce. Successful applicants will consist of a group of accomplished researchers who will work collaboratively to offer a defined research training program to a group of trainees. This environment will provide trainees with experience relevant to both academic and non-academic careers. The research training experience should focus on providing an enriched training experience for graduate (master’s and doctoral) students. The CREATE Program promotes and furthers the development of new researchers within the natural sciences and engineering (NSE) disciplines, or at the interdisciplinary frontier between NSE and the areas covered under the umbrella of the two other federal granting agencies; the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) if, by combining the strengths of the various disciplines, a greater impact is achieved for the trainees. To build on Canada’s research strengths and priorities, and to enhance our success, at least 60 percent of the CREATE funding will be directed toward the following NSERC priority areas: - Environmental science and technologies; - Natural resources and energy; - Manufacturing; and - Information and communications technologies. An agreement between NSERC and the German Research Foundation, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), has been concluded to establish a formal mechanism for supporting a bilateral training program that involves an exchange of students between Germany and Canada. In order to be considered for this opportunity, Canadian candidates should follow these steps: - Canadian researchers should first establish a collaboration with German researchers. - Since the DFG International Research Training Groups (IRTG) process requires more time than the NSERC application process, the German researchers must start by submitting a pre-proposal to the DFG. - Applicants with a successful DFG IRTG pre-proposal can proceed directly to submitting a full application to NSERC. - Because of NSERC’s system requirements, applicants must provide the basic information in their LOI as it is used to generate a Form 102. Please contact NSERC for further details. - Proposals will be evaluated through the agencies’ (NSERC and DFG) respective peer review processes. The CREATE application should stand alone and contain all the necessary details about the Canadian side of the collaboration. - CREATE Grant applications involving a collaboration with researchers applying to the DFG’s IRTG program compete with the applications of the other applicants invited to submit a CREATE Grant application in the same competition. - DFG IRTG/NSERC CREATE proposals will be funded only if both are successful in their individual competitions.
