The annual Synergy Awards for Innovation recognize examples of collaboration that stand as models of effective partnership between partner organizations and colleges or universities. The awards honour the most outstanding achievements emerging from these collaborations. By working together, award-winning partner organizations and post-secondary institutions prove that effective partnerships and innovation are the foundation of achievement. Their successes enrich the academic and research programs at Canadian post-secondary institutions while providing concrete benefits to Canadians.

You must submit your nomination using the Secure Submission for NSERC’s Synergy Awards for Innovation . 

Nominators are advised to contact Ellen Steinhauer, Manager, 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.
