If applicable, be sure to enter the appropriate keywords in your CGRS M application to be considered for the $10,000 Supplement for Research in the Field of Impact Assessment, awarded to CGRS M recipients.

NSERC will be hosting live question and answer MS Teams events for the CGRS M program. They are supported by a series of informational videos available on the NSERC YouTube channel. These videos are intended to replace the presentation portion of the NSERC sessions, allowing NSERC and/or tri-agency staff and applicants to engage in a more in-depth and detailed Q&A session.

Participants should watch the videos/tutorials in advance, and come to the Q&A session with specific questions in mind.
