Technology Access Centre grants | Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)

January 1, 1900

Value

$350,000 per year ($100,000 per year for colleges and CEGEPs in Quebec)

Description

Technology Access Centres (TACs) are specialized centres of expertise intended to provide timely innovation support to a college’s community organizations from the private, public, health care or not-for-profit sectors.

Eligible Applicants

Canadian colleges (including CEGEPs and polytechnics) that are declared eligible to administer grants before the application deadline can apply. Colleges must meet the eligibility requirements for colleges of any of the three federal granting agencies — the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and/or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). All applications must be submitted to NSERC. Grants are funded by NSERC, except proposals exclusively in the social sciences and humanities, which are funded by SSHRC, or exclusively in the health sciences, which are funded by CIHR.

Eligible Expenses

TACs provide capabilities that serve their community organizations’ applied research and innovation needs. These capabilities may include advice on specific organizational challenges, applied research and/or development projects, or specialized services and training. These centres address innovation challenges by enabling the community organizations to take advantage of the college’s expertise, technology and equipment, leading to beneficial business, social and/or health outcomes for Canada.

Deadline Date

The Technology Access Centre (TAC) grants operate on a cyclical basis with a two-stage application process, starting with a Letter of Intent (LOI) followed by an invited full application. The competition for 2025 is now closed, with the LOI deadline having been September 3, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. ET, and the full application deadline January 21, 2026. Dates for the next competition have not yet been announced. Please visit the official NSERC website for the most current information and future competition announcements.
