NSERC offers a series of pre-recorded videos followed by live Q&A sessions which are meant to assist the research community on how to complete an application using the Research Portal and the NSERC Canadian Common CV (CCV). You will find below the pre-recorded videos as well as the dates for these upcoming live Q&A sessions.
We ask that sttendees please view the pre-recorded videos prior to attending a live Q&A session, as the material presented in the videos will not be repeated. In preparation, we invite attendees to familiarize themselves with the following documents:
New this year is the ability to ask questions ahead of each live Q&A session by following the ‘link to questionnaire’ below. Note that questions can be asked only in the week leading up to and during the session.
We ask that participants register in advance to attend the MS Teams live Q&A sessions. The session will be open 15 minutes in advance. Considering the high attendance to our live Q&A sessions, NSERC staff may not have time to respond to all individual questions during the sessions. Any additional questions should be directed to our support team at NSERC Discovery.
