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. Consult the Live Q&A sessions page to learn about upcoming sessions.
Pre-registration is not required to attend the 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 session. Any additional questions should be directed to our support team at NSERC Discovery.
NEW THIS YEAR: We will be hosting live Q&A sessions for the Northern Research Supplements program (NRS), Ship time program and for the Subatomic Physics Discovery Grants program (SAP) (individual and project).
