A highly presitigous award, the Canada Research Chair title is awarded to world-class researchers undertaking academic research and training excellence in Canadian post-secondary institutions. The Discovery Grants program is NSERC’s largest and longest-standing program, providing researchers the flexibility to explore the most promising avenues of research as they emerge.
