Alliance Society

During your research project

Acknowledging NSERC

You must acknowledge NSERC support in any communications or presentations about the research supported by your Alliance grant.

---

Reporting progress

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

Notifying NSERC about changes

Subsequent instalments of your grant depend on (1) a demonstrated need for NSERC funds and (2) adherence to all other conditions specified in the terms and conditions of an award.

You must notify NSERC:

• if any of your partner organizations leave the project—in this case
  • you should discuss with NSERC the impact on your ability to achieve the original goals of the project and whether the project may need to be amended
  • if you no longer have at least one partner organization that is recognized for cost-sharing, you have up to six months to find an alternate partner organization
  • if you cannot find such an organization, you must notify NSERC and submit a wind-down plan that focuses on student support

If you and your partner organizations fail to provide the requested feedback, your subsequent applications may be denied. If a partner organization fails to honour its commitments, NSERC may also decline to consider it in future applications.

Extension of grants

Following the initial period of your grant, NSERC will automatically extend your grant for one year to allow you to complete your planned activities. No additional funding is provided for this automatic one-year extension.

If you need additional extensions due to justifiable extenuating circumstances, you can apply for these using a grant amendment form. Such extensions are up to one year at a time and do not include additional funding.
