The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is a Canadian government agency that provides grants for research in the natural sciences and in engineering. Its mandate is to promote and assist research.
NSERC supports postsecondary students and postdoctoral fellows in their advanced studies. The agency promotes discovery by funding research conducted by postsecondary professors and students and fosters innovation by encouraging Canadian companies to participate and invest in postsecondary research and training.
NSERC came into existence on May 1, 1978. University-based research had previously been supported through the National Research Council. It is a separate employer of the Government of Canada and reports to Parliament through the Minister of Industry. It is governed by a Council composed of the president and up to 18 members appointed from the private and public sectors.
The current Chief Operating Officer is Janet Walden. On June 17, 2014, B. Mario Pinto was appointed President of NSERC, effective fall 2014.
This video describes the various steps of the peer review process for each application for an NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship, Canada Graduate Scholarship or NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship. Important Note: As a result of the tri-agency harmonization of the Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS) Program, references in this video to the Alexander Graham Bell CGS-Master's and to the NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships Master's (PGS M) program are no longer accurate. A key change is that the PGS M program component will no longer be available. More information about the redesigned, tri-agency harmonized CGS Master's program is available on the website. Further information will be posted there in the coming weeks and will be circulated more broadly to the community. http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Stude...
Jeff Dahn is a pioneer in lithium-ion battery research and one of the world’s leading innovators in battery technology. The work accomplished by the Dahn Lab at Dalhousie University has had an impact on nearly every aspect of lithium-ion battery research. From conducting fundamental studies on all of the materials that are used in lithium-ion batteries, to co-inventing some of the positive-electrode materials used in lithium-ion cells for power tools, grid energy storage and electric vehicles, Dahn’s research has contributed to making these long-lasting batteries part of our everyday lives. Dr. Dahn is the winner of NSERC’s 2017 Gerhard Herzberg Canada Gold Medal for Science and Engineering.
This video provides an overview of NSERC funding available to undergraduate students. Please note that the Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Awards (IUSRA) are now known as the Experience Awards.

Since 2008, Zhangxing (John) Chen has led a research consortium with a group of partners from the oil and gas sectors, using dynamic simulations to test new operations that produce more while using less. Chen’s research group has developed a remarkable virtual reality interface that allows companies to save time and money on field testing and instead focus their efforts on implementing better practices that reduce environmental impact. As a result of these advancements, Chen’s group is now recognized as one of the most effective partnerships of academia and industry in the country. Dr. Chen won one of NSERC's Synergy Awards for Innovation in 2017.
U of S research channel http://www.youtube.ca/user/uofsresearch This short video, produced by the University of Saskatchewan in partnership with NSERC, shows how an innovative partnership between the U of S College of Engineering and Venmar CES Inc., is leading to new energy-saving products, hands-on training opportunities for students, and new jobs in a leading-edge field for U of S graduates.
The frenetic pace of the global economy and demand for innovative technology has heightened the demand for materials that are stronger, lighter and more flexible or have unique properties. Few working in the field are more imaginative or innovative than The University of British Columbia's Mark MacLachlan, whose research breakthroughs have produced truly novel materials. Dr. MacLachlan explores the potential for invention through supramolecular chemistry—a discipline that takes advantage of the fact that molecules with specific shapes and properties will self-assemble to form new materials. His achievements have earned him a 2012 E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship from NSERC.

Voici venir la nuit des longs couteaux
Enfilez vos bas noirs les gars
Ajustez bien vos accroche-bas
Vos porte-jarretelles et vos corsets
Allez venez ça va se corser
On va danser le
nazi rock nazi
nazi nazi rock nazi
Maquillez vos lèvres les gars
Avec des rouges délicats
Faites vous des bouches sanglantes
Ou noires ou bleues si ça vous tente
On va danser le
nazi rock nazi
nazi nazi rock nazi
Sur vos boucles blondes les gars
Mettez fixatifs et corps gras
N'épargnez ni onguents ni fards
Venez avant qu'il soit trop tard
On va danser le
