Discovery Grants program Subatomic Physics Discovery Grants program List of small Canadian universities eligible for Discovery Development Grants Primary caregivers who are eligible for but decline taking extended leave (maternity, parental or adoption) - NSERC Discovery Grant, Individual Subatomic Physics Discovery Grant and Discovery Development Grant holders only
The Discovery Development Grants (DDG) is a complementary program element to the Discovery Grants (DG) program. Its goal is to:
- promote and maintain a diversified base of high-quality research in small universities across Canada; and
- provide a stimulating environment for research training in small universities across Canada.
The DDG program provides resources to researchers from small universities whose DG applications were deemed to be of appropriate quality to merit research support, but were not funded in the DG competition.
Each award has a two-year duration and provides recipients with resources to build their research program. These resources may be used to expand the recipient’s research group (e.g., students, postdoctoral fellows, technicians), to purchase or access specialized equipment, or for other initiatives or resources that would accelerate the recipient’s research program. It is expected that the DDG will facilitate recipients’ access to additional funding from other sources.
In addition to the usual NSERC eligibility criteria for applicants, the program is only accessible to researchers at small universities who have been evaluated in the most recent DG competition.
Recipients of a DDG must provide NSERC with evidence of support from their university, indicating what additional measures will be taken to support the individual’s research program. Support can include, but is not limited to, matching funds, the purchase of research equipment, scholarship support, travel support, teaching release, etc.
No separate application is required. NSERC selects recipients based on the results of the evaluation of DG applications.
Evaluation Groups will evaluate and rate DG applications in accordance with established DG evaluation criteria. DDGs will be awarded based on the ratings received by the DG application. Recipients will be those from small universities whose applications were deemed to be of appropriate quality to merit research support but were not funded in the DG competition.
Each award will normally be paid over two years. NSERC reserves the right to limit the total number of new awards per year, depending on availability of funding.
Researchers may not concurrently hold a DDG and a DG. Holders of a DDG may apply for a DG in the last year of the award. Researchers may hold up to two (2) DDG awards throughout their careers.
DDG recipients are required to complete a
