NSERC Alliance-Mitacs Accelerate grants

The NSERC Alliance-Mitacs Accelerate grants support collaborative research projects between academic researchers and partner organizations, allowing applicants to leverage partner cash contributions for funding from both NSERC and Mitacs. The program streamlines the application process for those seeking both an Alliance Advantage grant and a Mitacs Accelerate grant, with a single review at NSERC. Projects can vary in scale and complexity, and must include Mitacs internships as part of the training of highly qualified personnel.
