Review Committees
The current review committees provide quality assessment and funding recommendations on grant, scholarship and prize applications assigned to them by NSERC. They also provide advice on matters related to their review activities to the standing committee overseeing their committee, as applicable.
The length of term of the committee member mandate is listed under the specific committee links.
