NSERC-CSE Research Communities grants

October 16, 2024

Value

$700,000 (small project) or $1,400,000 (large project) per year over four years.

Description

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE) are partnering to fund Research Communities to conduct unclassified research on cutting-edge technologies in areas of strategic importance to CSE and the Government of Canada. A Research Community is defined as a group of researchers – and their research personnel (i.e., students, post-doctoral fellows, and research professionals) – from multiple Canadian universities working in related domains and sharing NSERC‑CSE funds awarded to their project(s). The focus of this funding call is on exploratory analysis for unstructured data. CSE is the sole partner organization; no additional partner organizations will be accepted.

CSE is Canada’s foreign signals intelligence agency and technical authority for cyber security and information assurance. CSE is home to the Tutte Institute for Mathematics and Computing (TIMC), where researchers work with government, academia, and industry to tackle scientific challenges related to CSE’s mission. TIMC’s data science team is focused on the underlying mathematical theory of exploratory data analysis and the implementation of that theory in scalable, broadly applicable tools. In support of CSE’s mandate, these tools support the analysis of cyber defence and signals intelligence data.

Eligible Applicants

This Research Communities grant(s) will support unclassified research focusing on exploratory analysis for unstructured data. However, the funding is conditional on the applicant or one of the co-applicants and some of the Research Community members (i.e., professors, students, and post-doctoral fellows) travelling to Ottawa to conduct classified research at CSE throughout the grant period. See Classified research for details.

Eligible Expenses

Individual projects can request either $700,000 (small project) or $1,400,000 (large project) per year over four years from NSERC. Grant funding is provided in equal parts by NSERC and CSE. The aim is to fund one large or two small projects per call. The NSERC-CSE Research Communities grant(s) focused on exploratory analysis for unstructured data will be awarded in May 2025.

Objectives:

  • Advance research in fundamental algorithms and tools for exploratory analysis of large unstructured datasets.
  • Develop a sustainable, open-source software ecosystem for exploratory analysis of large unstructured datasets.
  • Grow and expand an interdisciplinary community that includes, for example, mathematicians, computer scientists, visualization, and computer interaction experts to work together on exploratory analysis of unstructured datasets.
  • Establish Canada and Canadian Universities as leaders in unstructured data analysis.
  • Support the development of highly qualified personnel working in the field of exploratory data analysis.

Deadline Date

LOIs must be received by NSERC by October 16, 2024, before 8:00 p.m. (ET).
