Talent Recruitment Fund | ResearchNB

September 19, 2024

Value

$55k to $100k.

Description

Researchers recruited to New Brunswick institutions require financial resources to quickly scale up their research activities.
Our program supplements institutional investments with a focus on applied research. It provides researchers with resources needed to accelerate their recruitment of graduate students, ability to leverage additional funds, and undertake applied research activities. It is meant to increase the amount and quality of applied research conducted in NB institutions and improve graduate student recruitment. It is also meant to increase research investment, especially with private sector involvement.

Eligible Applicants

  • May be awarded only once per candidate.
  • Employees may have worked for the institution prior but cannot have previously held a full-time tenure/tenure track position at an NB institution.
  • Cannot receive funding for the role they are being recruited for through the Research Professional Initiative.
  • Candidate may have already signed their employment contract with the NB institution when they submit the TRF application.
  • Application must be submitted within 6 months of researcher’s contract being signed.
  • ResearchNB reserves the right to make a final decision on eligibility.

 

The role must be:

  • Full-time and physically based in NB.
  • At least 3 years in duration, and with a reasonable expectation that the role will become permanent in the future.
  • A tenure-track faculty position (for universities) when the award is not a shorter term as per the above criteria.
  • A position where approximately 40% of the role is dedicated to research (teaching-only faculty are ineligible).
  • Post-doctoral fellowships are ineligible.
  • Independent (cannot be under the direction of another researcher).

Eligible Expenses

Expenses must be directly linked to the candidate’s research program and should be used to accelerate research activities. Please see the detailed eligibility guide in the ResearchNB Award Administration Guide.

  • Lab renovations
  • Purchase of lab equipment, software or licenses
