NSERC is aware of the impact Hurricane Fiona has had on researchers and postsecondary institutions in Atlantic Canada. Due to the widespread damage, power-outages, and disruptions, NSERC has extended deadlines for applicants submitting from post-secondary institutions in the Atlantic provinces to the following:

 

The extension process for RTI applications is as follows:
For UPEI researchers who are principal applicants: 
NSERC needs to be advised of the extension requirement before October 25. Therefore, please notify Research Services (lcudmore@upei.ca) that you require an extension by October 21 so that your extension request can be communicated to NSERC. Applicants should create the RTI application form in NSERC's Research Portal by this time to allow NSERC to extend the deadline date.
 
For UPEI researchers who are co-applicants on RTI applications with a principal applicant outside of the Atlantic provinces: 
If an extension is required, the co-applicant must contact resgrant@nserc-crsng.gc.ca, and cc the principal applicant and RGO at the administering institution.
 
For Discovery Grant applicants:
The Research Portal will automatically remain open for applicants who submitted NOIs until November 7th to allow applicants additional time to submit their applications. UPEI applicants have been contacted directly with revised internal timelines.
 
Discovery Horizons
The Discovery Horizons deadline for invited full applications is on October 18th. For UPEI researchers who are co-applicants on applications with a principal applicant outside of the Atlantic provinces: If an extension is required, the co-applicant must contact horizons@nserc-crsng.gc.ca ahead of the deadline, while including the principal applicant in cc. These requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
