For a quick summary of some of the main funding opportunities (both Tri-Agency and internal), see our Grants at a Glance one-pager.
External Funding
To find external funding opportunities that match your research interests, take advantage of the following resources:
- ORI’s monthly Newsletter – The newsletter includes upcoming funding opportunities, webinars/events, and other research updates. You can view the latest newsletter online here.
- Tri-Agency Integrated Calendar of funding opportunities
- Agency-Specific pages for upcoming deadlines
For external award competitions, Nipissing's internal deadline to submit a draft application via Romeo is 3 weeksprior to the sponsor's deadline. This gives the Research Office time to review your submission, provide feedback, request any matching funds required from NU, and obtain the required approvals.
Contact research@nipissingu.ca for any questions you might have about applying for awards.
Internal Funding
The Office of Research & Innovation sends out calls for most internal award competitions to faculty via email, typically 2 months prior to the application deadline. For more information, follow the links below or contact research@nipissingu.ca.
