Quantum science is the study, manipulation and control of systems at the atomic and subatomic level. Quantum technologies are at the leading edge of science and innovation, both in Canada and worldwide. They will support the growth and transformation of key sectors, enable new economic opportunities and help advance a range of benefits for society. Canada is a leader in quantum research, and Canadian scientists are well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

Following up on Budget 2021, the Government of Canada launched the National Quantum Strategy (NQS) to amplify Canada’s significant strengths in quantum research; grow its quantum-ready technologies, companies and talent; and solidify Canada’s global leadership in this area. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) supports the implementation of the NQS through funding opportunities that advance domestic multisectoral partnerships, the development of talent, and international collaborations in quantum research and innovation. The National Research Council Canada (NRC) supports the NQS through internal programs, interdepartmental projects and collaborative research Challenge Programs, including the Internet of Things: Quantum Sensors Challenge program (QSP). The QSP was initially launched through the NRC’s Collaborative Science and Technology Innovation Program (CSTIP) and received additional funding through the NQS under the Commercialization pillar.

NSERC and the NRC are partnering to launch the present Alliance Quantum grants call for proposals to strengthen Canada’s quantum research and innovation capacity in quantum sensing and advance the development and application of technologies in this domain for the benefit of Canadians. The NRC is participating through the QSP and CSTIP.

Support provided through this joint initiative will reinforce, coordinate and scale up Canada’s domestic research capabilities in quantum sensing science and technology through partnerships between university researchers, for-profit small- or medium-sized enterprises federally or provincially/territorially incorporated in Canada (referred to as Canadian SMEs), the NRC, and other organizations from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors.

Your proposal may address any challenges in quantum science or engineering, but its thrust must aim to advance the third of the NQS missions: Enable the Government of Canada and key industries to be developers and early adopters of new quantum sensing technologies.

Projects considered as part of this call for proposals should be associated with a technology readiness level (TRL) in the range 3-6, address a need in the quantum sensing ecosystem, and fall under one of the NRC’s current QSP areas of focus:

• Quantum photonics
• Chip-based quantum systems
• Quantum metrology

Collaborations that synergistically couple any of these quantum sensing areas to other research topics in the natural sciences and engineering would be accepted.

Partner organizations do not need to provide cash contributions to participate, but they must actively play a role in the project and support it through in-kind contributions. A broad range of in-kind contributions could be made toward a project; refer to the Partner organizations web page for additional information.

NSERC and the NRC will provide financial support for up to three years. Through Alliance Quantum grants, NSERC will provide from $100,000 to $350,000 per year per project toward eligible direct costs of research incurred by the academic team. Through CSTIP, the NRC will provide, on average*, up to $350,000 per year per project for the non-repayable reimbursement of up to 75% of eligible expenditures incurred by the participating Canadian SME(s) to support the project. These expenditures are those associated with SME(s) involvement in the project and their in-kind contributions to support it.

This call for proposals will be supported by NSERC and the NRC through a combined envelope of up to $12 million over three years.

Alberta Innovates, through its Campus Alberta Small Business Engagement (CASBE) program—Stream II, and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, through its John R. Evans Leaders Fund, participate in this call for proposals through the provision of additional support toward projects; refer to the Funding your research project and How to apply web pages for additional information.

* On average means that the amount provided by the NRC in a given year can be higher than $350,000, but it will not exceed an average of $350,000 per year over the project’s duration.

If you are a Canadian university researcher who is eligible to receive NSERC funds, you can apply on your own or as a team with co-applicants who are also eligible academic researchers. Grants awarded for this call will support proposals of varying scale and complexity, including projects involving one researcher to projects involving multiple researchers across several universities.

NSERC encourages the participation of early career researchers (ECRs) as applicants or co-applicants on Alliance Quantum grant applications. While applications led by ECRs will be assessed using the same evaluation criteria, the merit indicators used for the assessment include provisions for cases where the applicant’s experience in managing projects or mentoring trainees is nascent. NSERC will monitor the success rate for ECR-led proposals to ensure that it is consistent with NSERC’s aim to effectively support researchers throughout their careers. For more information on how NSERC categorizes an applicant as an ECR, refer to the Discovery Grants: applicant categories.

In addition to the NRC through the QSP, you must involve at least one Canadian SME as a partner organization in your project. You may also include other partner organizations (in the private, public or not-for-profit sector) that play an important role in your project. They may include Canadian federal departments, organizations that perform R&D, multinational companies with business operations in Canada, or anticipated end-users of the project’s targeted quantum technologies. At least one partner organization must have the ability to exploit the project’s research results.

Even though cash contributions are not required from partner organizations, you must have at least one partner organization whose cash contributions would be recognized for cost sharing, had there been any required (see Alliance grants: Role of partner organizations). The Canadian SME(s) participating in your project should normally satisfy this requirement. The NRC, as a partner organization of your project, is not recognized for cost sharing.

Since your application involves at least one partner organization from the private sector, you must complete the National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships’ risk assessment form and include it as an integral part of your application.

At all times, Canadian researchers are encouraged to exercise appropriate levels of due diligence to safeguard their research. Resources to do so are provided by the Government of Canada on the Safeguarding Your Research portal.

Your project must involve at least one small- or medium-sized enterprise that is federally or provincially/territorially incorporated in Canada (referred to as Canadian SME), in addition to the National Research Council Canada (NRC) through its Internet of Things: Quantum Sensors Challenge program (QSP). If you are interested in collaborating with the NRC as part of this call for proposals, you may contact the QSP team by email at NRC.QuantumSensors-Capteursquantiques.CNRC@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca.

You may also include other partner organizations (in the private, public or not-for-profit sector) that play an important role in your project. They may be Canadian federal departments, organizations that perform R&D, multinational companies with business operations in Canada, or anticipated end users of the project’s targeted quantum technologies.

At least one of the partner organizations must have a demonstrated ability to exploit the research results for the benefit of Canada, while other partners may be chosen for their ability to generate or mobilize knowledge.

Each partner organization, including the NRC through its QSP, must actively play a role in the project and support it through in-kind contributions. Such involvement must be achieved by doing at least one of the following:

• play an active role in the project’s research activities
• utilize the project’s research results to help achieve its desired outcomes
• play an active role in translating or mobilizing knowledge to ensure that the project’s research results have an impact

Various in-kind contributions could be made toward the project, such as the time of the partner organization’s scientific, engineering or technical staff to participate in the project or contribute to providing direction; provision of equipment, materials or services; and provision of access to data or special equipment.

You must have at least one partner organization whose cash contributions would be recognized for cost sharing, had there been any required. The Canadian SME(s) participating in your project should normally satisfy this requirement. The NRC, as a partner organization of your project, is not recognized for cost sharing. Consult the Alliance grants: Role of partner organizations web page for complete guidelines regarding partner organizations, including requirements for partner organizations whose cash contributions can be recognized for cost-sharing purposes with NSERC.

Other funding organizations (e.g., other provincial or federal funding agencies) may participate as financial partners and provide support to the project in addition to NSERC. Active participation in the project and in-kind contributions are not required from such funding organizations (see Funding your research project).

Your proposal may address any challenges in quantum science or engineering, but its thrust must aim to advance the third of the NQS missions: Enable the Government of Canada and key industries to be developers and early adopters of new quantum sensing technologies.

Projects considered as part of this call for proposals should be associated with a technology readiness level (TRL) in the range 3-6, address a need in the quantum sensing ecosystem, and fall under one of the areas of focus of the National Research Council Canada’s Internet of Things: Quantum Sensors Challenge program (QSP):

• Quantum photonics
• Chip-based quantum systems
• Quantum metrology

As the development of quantum technologies may require coupling to other areas of research in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE), you may collaborate with academic researchers to this end. Such researchers may be co-applicants on your application if they meet NSERC’s eligibility criteria for faculty.

You cannot use an Alliance Quantum grant to support secret or contract research. NSERC may support non-confidential university-based research dedicated to the development of non-weapon specific defence technologies (defence against weapons is acceptable) with dual-use applications (i.e., it has both defence and civilian applications).

You may incorporate international collaborations into your project proposal. Refer to the Tri-agency Guide on Financial Administration regarding the eligibility of expenses you may incur in support of such collaborations.

Your research or the application of its results may depend on socio-economic or other requirements, as well as scientific understanding beyond the NSE. You may collaborate with academic researchers in fields other than the NSE. Such researchers may be co-applicants if they meet NSERC’s eligibility criteria for faculty. Research costs for these collaborations can represent up to 30% of the project costs covered by NSERC and must be specifically identified in the project budget justification.

You can request $100,000 to $350,000 per year from NSERC for up to three years to cover eligible direct costs of research incurred by the academic team. Cash contributions from partner organizations are not required.

Even though NSERC will cover 100% of the project’s eligible costs incurred by the academic team, your project must involve at least one partner organization whose cash contributions would be recognized, had there been any required (see Alliance grants: Role of partner organizations). The Canadian small- and medium-sized enterprise(s) (SME(s)) participating in your project should normally satisfy this requirement. The National Research Council Canada (NRC), as a partner organization of your project, is not recognized for cost sharing.

In-kind contributions are important for the success of the project. All partner organizations participating in the project must play an active role in it and make in-kind contributions through such involvement (see Partner organizations). In-kind contributions are considered in the merit assessment of your proposal (see Review of your application).

The Canadian SME(s) participating in your project can request from the NRC’s Collaborative Science and Technology Innovation Program (CSTIP) up to $350,000 per year, on average, for up to three years toward the non-repayable reimbursement of up to 75% of eligible expenditures incurred to support the project. These expenditures are those associated with SME(s) involvement in the project and their in-kind contributions to support it. If your project involves more than one Canadian SME, the average annual non-repayable reimbursement amount of up to $350,000 must be shared between them. In such a case, the SMEs are expected to discuss and agree on the distribution of their requests to the NRC’s CSTIP prior to the submission of your application.

The following table presents an example of a project budget and the support that may be provided by NSERC and the NRC to the academic team and the partnering Canadian SME, respectively.

Each partner organization’s in-kind contributions are to be presented and well justified in your application. Each Canadian SME requesting non-repayable reimbursement from the NRC’s CSTIP of expenditures incurred as part of the provision of in-kind contributions must complete the NRC’s Industry Collaborator Information and Financial Form. You must include the completed and signed form for each SME as an integral part of your application (see How to Apply). For more information on expenses that are eligible for reimbursement through CSTIP, consult the NRC’s web page Grant and contribution funding for collaborators or contact the NRC’s National Program Office.

You and your co-applicants may receive funds from other sources to cover direct costs of your project. These sources of funds could include cash contributions provided by the university or by other funding agencies. Such funds would add to and complement those requested from NSERC. 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 are considered in the merit assessment of your proposal.

Alliance Quantum grant funds from NSERC cover the direct costs of the research incurred by the academic team. The funds from NSERC are 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.

You can only include NSERC-eligible direct costs of research in your project budget, such as

• salary support for undergraduate and graduate students as well as 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

You may include project management costs, up to 10% of the total direct research costs (see Guidelines for research partnerships programs project management expenses ). Refer to the guidelines on the use of grant funds in the Tri-agency Guide on Financial Administration.

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 project requires equipment with a total expected cost (including operation and maintenance) exceeding $250,000 over the project’s duration, you should apply for an alternate source of funding such as the Canada Foundation for Innovation’s (CFI’s) John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF). NSERC and CFI have developed a joint application and review procedure for associated Alliance and JELF proposals. Contact NSERC or CFI for more details.

Through its Campus Alberta Small Business Engagement (CASBE) program—Stream II, Alberta Innovates may leverage NSERC Alliance Quantum grants awarded through this call for proposals to provide additional support toward projects led by NSERC-eligible researchers from Alberta universities and involving an SME incorporated in Alberta. Alberta Innovates’ CASBE program will leverage NSERC’s award up to $150,000 per year for up to two years. CASBE support could be for a maximum of two years; however, your Alliance Quantum grant application can request NSERC support for up to three years.

NSERC and the NRC recognize 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 Tri-Agency Statement on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).

You are encouraged to consider sex, gender and diversity in the project's research design. Diversity and gender equity should also be considered when developing the research team and considering how to promote and support a variety of forms of mentoring to ensure students' and postdoctoral fellows' equitable participation and growth. Refer to the Guide for applicants: Considering equity, diversity and inclusion in your application for more information.

When NSERC receives an Alliance Quantum grant application, it first undertakes an administrative assessment to ensure the application is complete and complies with all requirements.

As part of the administrative assessment of an application, NSERC and the National Research Council Canada’s (NRC’s) National Program Office (NPO) will share information, including personal information, in any way related to it. In particular, for any application in which a Canadian small- or medium-sized enterprise (SME) requests non-repayable reimbursement of part of the eligible in-kind contributions from the Collaborative Science and Technology Innovation Program (CSTIP), NSERC will provide the NPO with:

• The SME’s completed Industry Collaborator Information and Financial Form.
• The SME’s form 101 partner organization’s contributions page and the associated justification of in-kind contributions.

The NPO will assess the eligibility of the applying SME and the expenses considered as part of the CSTIP reimbursement request.

Once the administrative assessment is satisfactorily completed, NSERC will proceed with the merit assessment of the application. Representatives from the NRC’s NPO will participate as observers in the merit assessment of Alliance Quantum grant applications submitted in response to this call.

By submitting your application in response to this call, you, your co-applicants (when applicable) and your partner organizations agree to such participation and to the sharing of any and all information between NSERC and the NRC’s NPO, including personal information, in any way related to your application and to its administrative and merit review.

All proposals will undergo peer review. A committee of national and international peer reviewers will assess the merit of applications. Committee members will be drawn from universities as well as public, private or not-for-profit organizations.

The merit of your application is evaluated using the following four equally weighted criteria. The proposal must address all the listed points (criteria and sub-criteria) to be considered for funding.

Relevance and outcomes

• Significance of the intended outcomes and of the economic, social and/or environmental benefits for Canada
• Originality of the research to address the topic and the potential for generating new scientific knowledge
• Extent to which the strategy to apply the research results is likely to achieve the intended outcomes

Partnership

• Appropriateness of the partnership to achieve the intended outcomes; leveraging of different types of partner organizations and the integration of their unique perspectives and knowledge in the project, as appropriate
• Clarity of each partner organization's role in the collaboration with respect to defining the challenge, co-designing and implementing the research, and using the results to achieve the desired outcomes
• Appropriateness of the level of in-kind contributions from each partner organization

Quality of the proposal

• Clarity of the objectives and deliverables; appropriateness of the scope and size of planned activities to achieve the expected outcomes; justification for the planned expenditures
• Appropriateness of the identified indicators and methods for monitoring progress during the project and for assessing outcomes after the project
• Appropriateness of academic researchers' expertise, and that found within the partner organizations, both for carrying out the planned research activities and in mentoring trainees

Training

• Opportunities for enriched training experiences for research trainees (undergraduates, graduates, postdoctoral fellows) to develop relevant research skills as well as professional skills such as leadership, communication, collaboration and entrepreneurship
• Consideration of equity, diversity and inclusion in the training plan (for guidance, consult the Equity, diversity and inclusion in your training plan web page)

NSERC uses established merit indicators to rate each evaluation sub-criterion/criterion. Since cash contributions from partner organizations are not required, they are not taken into account when assessing the appropriateness of the level of contributions from each partner organization. Only in-kind contributions are taken into consideration.

Since your application involves at least one partner organization from the private sector, NSERC will review the National Security Guidelines for Research Partnerships' risk assessment form that you provide with your application (including the risk mitigation plan, when applicable). If additional expertise is required, NSERC will seek advice from Canada's national security departments and agencies, and/or from academic experts.

NSERC's and the NRC’s (through the NPO) funding decisions will take into consideration the merit evaluation as well as the assessment of potential risks for Canada's national security, when applicable.

NSERC and the NRC (through the NPO) will use the merit indicator ratings assigned to applications to select proposals for funding on a competitive basis. Decisions stemming from the national security risk assessment are based on the risks identified and the mitigation measures proposed.

All applications will be reviewed together following the submission deadline. Funding decisions should be made by October 2024.

If your project is approved for funding:

1. The National Research Council Canada (NRC) will work with you, the participating academic institutions and the project’s partner organizations to develop a multi-party collaborative research agreement (mCRA), which must be in place for NSERC and NRC funding to be released to recipients.
2. You will receive an award letter from NSERC for your Alliance Quantum grant, and you must adhere to the terms and conditions of award.
3. The Canadian small- or medium-sized enterprise(s) (SME(s)) participating in your project and requesting reimbursement from the NRC’s Collaborative Science and Technology Innovation Program (CSTIP) will receive a CSTIP agreement for non-repayable contribution funding, which will detail the funding terms and conditions and processes for reimbursement.

The mCRA, the NSERC award letter and the CSTIP funding agreement will indicate the start date of your project. NSERC will normally transfer your Alliance Quantum grant funds to your university within 30 days of that start date. The NRC will reimburse the predetermined portion of eligible expenses to the partnering Canadian SME(s) on a quarterly basis.

The mCRA will define the intellectual property rights and obligations of all the partner organizations involved in your research project. The agreement must be aligned with NSERC’s policy on intellectual property, which promotes the use and/or exploitation of knowledge and open access to results of research funded by NSERC.

You and/or your partner organizations are encouraged to contact the NRC’s National Program Office as early as possible to obtain information on the standard mCRA terms for intellectual property and to start discussions with respect to the mCRA.

Note:

• NSERC claims no rights of ownership to any intellectual property generated through projects funded by Alliance Quantum grants.
• NSERC’s policy on intellectual property stipulates that each of your students must maintain their right to defend their thesis without delays or impediments.
• All participants, including any trainees, should consult this policy to ensure that they are aware of their rights and obligations.

You must acknowledge NSERC and the National Research Council Canada (NRC) support in any communications or presentations about the research supported by your Alliance Quantum grant and the Collaborative Science and Technology Innovation Program (CSTIP) contribution.

You and your partner organizations must report regularly on how you use the funds from your Alliance Quantum grant and the CSTIP contribution, the activities you and your partner organizations carry out during your funded project and the outcomes of this project. You will be informed of reporting requirements upon receiving your award letter.

You will be required to report on progress in implementing practices to support equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in your training plan, as described in your application.

Subsequent instalments of your Alliance Quantum grant depend on your adherence to all conditions specified in the terms and conditions of award, in addition to the demonstration of satisfactory progress in implementing EDI practices in the training plan, when requested by NSERC.

For the Canadian small- or medium-sized enterprise(s) (SME(s)) receiving a CSTIP contribution, reimbursement of eligible costs incurred to support the project are subject to the terms and conditions of the CSTIP funding agreement for non-repayable contribution funding. Any changes to the SME(s), such as a buyout or change of ownership and subsequent name change of the organization, any changes to key investigators, project activities, project timelines or funding amounts must be communicated to the NRC’s National Program Office.

You must notify NSERC and the NRC:

• if any of your partner organizations no longer actively play a role in the project and support it through in-kind contributions, as committed to in the application;
• if any of your partner organizations leave the project—in this respect, during the entire project, you must have at least one partner organization whose cash contributions would be recognized for cost-sharing, had there been any required.

If you and your partner organizations fail to provide requested feedback, your subsequent applications may be denied.
