The Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering recognizes highly collaborative Canadian research teams from different disciplines who have combined their expertise to produce achievements of outstanding significance in the natural sciences or engineering.

The prize competition is held annually and includes a team research grant of up to $250,000. This grant may be used to support the direct costs of university-based research or to enhance research facilities. The funds are paid in three annual instalments. Research grant funds associated with this prize are subject to the Tri-agency guide on financial administration.

Nomination deadline: November 28 before 8 p.m. (ET).

Nominators are advised to contact Ellen Steinhauer, Awards and Honours, for information on this program.

The internal selection of candidates to be nominated by the University for prestigious external awards entails the Awards Advisory Committee (AAC) reviewing several times annually, submissions of preliminary nomination materials for certain external awards. Those faculty members whose files have been selected for the preparation of the University nomination for the above award will be contacted by the Office of the Vice-President (Research) for assistance in developing the final nomination package to be submitted to external bodies.

Preliminary nomination materials must be reviewed first by the Office of the Dean of HSS prior to the deadline set by the AAC (see deadline below). Heads or individual faculty members should submit the AAC nomination template document electronically to HSS’s Secretary to the Associate Deans, Savanna Muscat (smuscat@mun.ca). The template can also be obtained from the Grants Facilitators Heather C. O'Brien or Matthew Milner.
