Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.
Alliance Advantage grants (formerly Alliance cost-sharing option 1) are for partner-driven projects. They fund projects focused on the partners’ goals, with at least one partner sharing in the costs of research. Research supported by Alliance Advantage grants will:
- generate new knowledge and/or technology to address complex challenges
- create economic, environmental and/or other societal benefits
- contribute to Canada’s long-term competitiveness
- support public policy
- train new researchers in areas that are important to Canada and partner organizations
- draw on diverse perspectives and skill sets to accelerate the translation and application of research results
For projects with societal impact as the main driver (formerly cost-sharing option 2), see
If you are a Canadian university researcher who is
Alliance grants support projects of varying scale and complexity, from short-term smaller projects involving one researcher to long-term projects involving researchers across several universities, and from one-on-one collaborations with one partner organization directly involved in the research to projects involving many partner organizations across multiple sectors.
NSERC is acting on the evidence that achieving a more equitable, diverse and inclusive Canadian research enterprise is essential to creating the excellent, innovative and impactful research necessary to advance knowledge and understanding, and to respond to local, national and global challenges. This principle informs the commitments described in the
Excellent research considers EDI both in the research environment (forming a research team, student training) and in the research process. For Alliance grants, EDI considerations are currently evaluated in the training, mentorship and professional development opportunities for students and trainees. The aim is to remove barriers to the recruitment and promote the full participation of individuals from underrepresented groups, including women, Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis), persons with disabilities, members of visible minority/racialized groups and members of 2SLGBTQI+ communities. Applicants are encouraged to increase the inclusion and advancement of underrepresented groups as one way to enhance excellence in research and training. For additional guidance, applicants should refer to

Your partner organizations can be private, public or not-for-profit. You may involve whichever partner organizations you need to achieve your research goals and successfully mobilize your research results to achieve the desired impact. At least one of these partners must have a demonstrated ability to exploit such research results, while other partners may be chosen for their ability to generate and mobilize knowledge. Your partner organizations must collectively support the project through cash contributions, where applicable (see
- Playing an active role in the project’s research activities
- Using the project’s research results to help achieve its desired outcomes
- Playing an active role in translating or mobilizing knowledge to ensure that the research results have an impact
Active participation in the project and in-kind contributions are not required from funding organizations (e.g., other provincial or federal funding agencies) providing financial support to the project.
In an R&D project considered for an Alliance Advantage grant, the partner organizations must contribute funding to support the project, either individually or collectively. For Alliance Advantage grants, at least one partner organization must be recognized for cost sharing with NSERC and must make cash contributions. To be recognized for cost sharing, a partner organization must:
- be listed as a type of organization whose cash contributions can be recognized for cost sharing with NSERC, in
section 1 below - meet the detailed requirements that apply to the partner organization’s sector (private, Canadian public or Canadian not-for-profit), in
section 2 below
If your project is receiving funding from other government agencies, these agencies should be included as partners in the application to show the full scope of the project and its financial support. Funders are not required to participate in the project or provide in-kind contributions, although they may. However, funding from these government agencies may not be included in cost-sharing calculations unless the agency fulfills the criteria for public-sector organizations in the table below and plays an active role in the project.
In reviewing your application for an Alliance Advantage grant, NSERC will assess the relevance of each partner organization, their capacity to translate, mobilize and/or apply the research results to achieve the intended outcomes, and the value of their proposed in-kind contributions. NSERC will prioritize funding to projects that most clearly fulfill the objectives of Alliance Advantage grants.
All partner organizations, including foreign and multinational companies, are responsible for complying with NSERC policies and procedures, and with other Canadian laws, regulations, standards or policies that apply to the collaborative research activities outlined in the proposal. In rare cases, restrictions such as
The applicant will ask partners to participate in the application by completing a partner organization form (see the
If you are applying for an Alliance Advantage grant, you can include just one partner organization or several—whichever you need to support the planned activities (given their size and scope) and produce the desired research results and widest possible benefits. Your application must demonstrate that the contributions and involvement of the partner organization(s) will create the necessary conditions for the project’s success.
To determine which of your proposed partner organizations can be recognized for cost sharing, follow the three steps below. Alternatively, you may complete the

In the case where your NSERC Alliance application involves one or more partner organization from the private sector, including when they participate alongside other partner organizations from the public and/or not-for-profit sectors, you must complete the
The requirement to submit the completed Risk Assessment form applies to industrial associations since their member organizations are principally from the private sector. When filling out the form, you must consider the association’s private-sector member organizations participating in the project (when applicable) and/or those that will exploit the research results.
These guidelines changed as of December 5, 2023 to provide flexible access to NSERC Alliance grants while ensuring that funds are used responsibly and all research participants are protected.
NSERC requires applicants, co-applicants and other participants in Alliance grants to report any conflict of interest to their institution before applying for a grant and as a condition of accepting an award. Institutions must assess conflicts of interest and implement mitigation plans to comply with conflict of interest requirements in the
NSERC encourages participants to discuss conflicts of interest at the earliest stages of developing a partnership. Transparency in disclosing affiliations, relationships and sources of funding is also important to ensure that research is conducted in line with best practices for research integrity and
The guiding principles below refer to this broader definition of “conflict of interest.”
When activities or situations place an individual or institution in a conflict between the duties or responsibilities related to research and personal, institutional or other interests, this is considered a conflict of interest. Such interests include national or international business, commercial, financial or other interests of the institution, the individual, their family members, friends, or their former, current or prospective professional associates. Divided loyalties may consciously or unconsciously bias researchers and institutions, adversely affecting research outcomes and the welfare of participants.
- As researchers or institutions, you must assess conflicts of interest when conducting research, as such conflicts may jeopardize the integrity of the research and the protection of participants.
- As a researcher, you must transparently disclose any conflicts of interest to your institution and all participants in the proposed research activities, including trainees. When necessary, you must take steps to minimize and manage these conflicts according to your institution’s conflict of interest policy and disciplinary standards. All participants should always strive to avoid conflicts of interest.
- As a researcher, you must make prospective participants aware of all conflicts of interest at the earliest stage so they can make an informed decision about their participation.
- As researchers, institutions and research ethics boards, you should identify and address conflicts of interest to discharge professional and institutional obligations, maintain public confidence and trust, and ensure accountability.

Terms and conditions of applying for applicants Terms and conditions of applying for partner organizations
You can apply to support any R&D project that seeks to respond to a research challenge in the natural sciences or engineering (see
Developing and implementing policies or directly applying your research results may depend on socio-economic or other requirements, as well as scientific understanding beyond the natural sciences and engineering (NSE). You are encouraged to collaborate with academic researchers in fields other than the NSE. Such researchers may be co-applicants for Alliance grants if they meet
To increase the impact of Canadian NSE research in the global research community, you may incorporate international collaborations into your project proposal. You may interact with foreign colleagues in a variety of ways to enhance collaboration and increase your project’s impact. Refer to the
You and your co-applicants may receive funds from multiple sources to cover the costs of your research project.
These sources of funds could include the following:
- Alliance grant funding from NSERC to cover the direct costs of the research, in proportion to the amount provided by the partner organizations recognized for cost sharing (see
Cost sharing ) - Cash contributions from your partner organizations for the direct costs of your research project (not including overhead)
- Cash provided by the university or by external sources, such as other funding agencies
The funds from NSERC and the partner organizations must be paid to eligible universities and cannot be used to buy equipment, products or services from any partner organization, or to cover any part of the travel and travel-related subsistence expenditures for partner organization personnel. For Alliance Advantage, expenses that are direct costs of research and essential for the success of the project incurred by partners that are Indigenous organizations in the public or not-for-profit sectors may be included in the application budget. Please consult with NSERC before submitting your application.
NSERC funds can only be applied to expenses incurred after an award is approved.
The funds from NSERC and the partner organizations must be paid to eligible universities and cannot be used to buy equipment, products or services from any partner organization, or to cover any part of the travel and travel-related subsistence expenditures for partner organization personnel.
NSERC’s grant is calculated on the basis of cost sharing with partner organizations.
The portion of the cost of your project that can be shared with NSERC includes only cash contributions from partner organizations that are recognized for cost sharing (see
The calculation of the amount you can request from NSERC does not include cash contributions from:
- partner organizations that are not recognized for cost sharing
- the university
- other funders
Limit on number of applications per year: none
Value: over $20,000 to $1 million per year
Duration: one to five years
Partner requirements
At least one partner up to an unlimited number of partners. Partners can be from the private sector, government or not-for-profit organizations
NSERC contribution to project’s direct costs
66.7% (2:1 leverage)
To calculate the maximum amount of NSERC funding you may request, you must:
- determine the total project cost
- subtract any cash contributions from partner organizations not recognized for cost sharing, such as the university or other funders; the result must equate to the total cash contributions from partner organizations recognized for cost sharing plus the NSERC request
To show the full scope of the project, you must include all of the project's direct costs funded by sources other than NSERC in the budget table. All costs must be explained in the proposal and will be considered in the merit assessment of your proposal.
In-kind contributions are important for the success of the project even though they are not taken into account in the cost-sharing calculations with NSERC. All partner organizations participating in the project must play an active role and make in-kind contributions through such involvement. In-kind contributions are considered in the merit assessment of your proposal (see
Cash contributions by partner organizations toward expenses other than the project’s direct costs (e.g., cash contribution toward an institutional research chair held by the applicant) may be described in the proposal to provide broader context about the depth of the partnership. Such contributions are not taken into account in the cost-sharing calculations with NSERC and must not be included in the total project cost.
If you are an applicant who is an early career researcher (see
Vouchers are being offered through a pilot program to make it easier for early career researchers to participate in Alliance Advantage grants and to involve partner organizations. The pilot program will provide vouchers to up to 200 eligible researchers. You must submit a letter of intent (LOI) through NSERC’s online system (see
If NSERC receives more than 200 LOIs, it will choose recipients through a random selection process.
You can include only NSERC-eligible direct costs of research in your project budget, such as:
- Salary support for research trainees (undergraduates, graduates and postdoctoral fellows) to perform research and related training
- Salary support for technicians and research professional personnel
- Materials and supplies
- Activities that support collaborations and knowledge mobilization related to the project
- Activities to develop and grow the research collaborations with the partner organizations
Refer to the guidelines on the use of grant funds in the
You can also include the costs of equipment, provided that the equipment is:
- essential to achieving the objectives of the research project
- incremental to the equipment already available at the university or at the partner organization’s location
If your total expected equipment cost (including operation and maintenance) exceeds $400,000 over your project’s duration, then you should apply for an alternate source of funding, such as the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund. NSERC and CFI have developed a joint application and review procedure for these cases. You may contact NSERC or CFI for more details.
Project management costs may be an eligible expense, up to 10% of the total direct research costs (see
Your grant can be extended in various ways. You can take advantage, as required, of two types of extensions: an automatic one-year extension without additional funding or an additional one-year extension without additional funding for extenuating circumstances. These extensions can also be combined.

All partner organizations, except those whose primary mission is to fund R&D, must be actively involved in the project and make in-kind contributions. Partners’ in-kind contributions are important for the success of the project. They must be well described in your proposal, and they are considered as part of its merit assessment. NSERC will not include the dollar value of in-kind contributions in its cost-sharing calculations.
Yes, but the contribution recognized for cost sharing will be limited to the amount originating from the partner organization that is directly allocated to the cost of the project over its duration. The partner organization must be actively involved in the project, have staff with the necessary expertise to contribute to the project and have a plan and the resources to exploit the project’s anticipated outcomes. You must include a cover letter describing the source of funds. The letter must be prepared by an authorized representative of the university and submitted on their behalf.
NSERC will communicate its decision and share all documents related to the assessment of your application (e.g., message to applicant, external reviewer reports, etc.) using your applicant library on the secure Alliance grants extranet. This is a new portal that is available only to the applicant. NSERC will provide you with a link to your applicant library and login instructions. If you have submitted an Alliance application and do not have access to your applicant library yet, you will receive information on how to access it once the merit assessment stage is complete. If your Alliance application is funded, NSERC’s post-award decisions will also be communicated using your applicant library.
NSERC will no longer communicate its decisions by mail or email. The onus is on you to share NSERC’s decisions with your partner organization(s) and any co-applicants.
Alliance grants can be extended in various ways. Following the initial period of your grant or a funded extension, your grant will be extended automatically. You have an additional one-year period to complete any unfinished activities for your project, but no additional funding is provided for this automatic one-year extension. Automatic extensions do not apply to special Alliance calls funded jointly with other organizations, unless mentioned in the special call.
