Researchers from natural sciences and engineering are encouraged to attend one of two town hall-style information sessions (Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.) hosted by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Research & Development Corporation (RDC) to learn more about a new federal-provincial partnership to fund research undertaken by Memorial and industrial partners aimed at supporting regional priorities. Researchers will be given tips on how to prepare an application for the Collaborative Research and Development Grant.

Applicants must demonstrate project alignment with industry needs or development opportunities, along with significant potential for economic impact in Newfoundland and Labrador.
