Discovery Horizons (Pilot) | Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)

January 1, 1900

Value

From $50,000 to $100,000 per year up to 5 years

Description

Discovery Horizons grants support investigator-initiated individual and team projects that broadly integrate or transcend disciplines to advance knowledge in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE).

Eligible Applicants

  • Applicants and co-applicants – NSERC’s eligibility criteria for faculty can provide more information on the role of applicants and co-applicants. While the research team is expected to have significant expertise in NSE research, not all members need to engage in research in the NSE. College faculty members who meet the relevant eligibility criteria can participate in Discovery Horizons as co-applicants.
  • Collaborators – Any individual whose contributions to the project will be supervised by a member of the research team and/or by another collaborator cannot be considered a collaborator.

Eligible Expenses

Research involving Indigenous Peoples and communities is particularly welcome in Discovery Horizons. Such research can be in any field or discipline, but it must be conducted by, grounded in or engaged with First Nations, Inuit, Métis and/or urban Indigenous communities, societies and/or individuals.

Deadline Date

The NSERC Discovery Horizons (pilot) program operates on a cyclical, multi-stage intake. The Letter of Intent (LOI) deadline for the 2025 competition was June 16, 2025, followed by an invited full application deadline of October 20, 2025. These deadlines have passed. No dates for future competitions are currently announced. Please visit the official NSERC website for the most up-to-date information and guidelines.
