Are you currently preparing an NSERC Discovery Grant application?

Are you interested in hearing directly from Queen’s researchers with experience in a Discovery Grant Evaluation Group about things like:

• How the NSERC Discovery Grant evaluation process works?
• Characteristics of a successful application?
• Common pitfalls to avoid when writing a Discovery Grant?

Please join us for a panel discussion and Q&A session with selected faculty members who will share insights from their time as Discovery Grant Evaluation Group members.

Traditionally, the core academic responsibilities in universities involve teaching, research, and service, while entrepreneurship has been overlooked. However, the current landscape of higher education, driven by innovation and public engagement, offers a distinct opportunity to integrate entrepreneurial pursuits with academic duties. This can enhance research and its impact by addressing real world challenges faced by the community. This session aims to demystify the challenges of academic entrepreneurship and inspire academics of all fields to consider how they can blend entrepreneurial endeavors into their professional journeys. 

* This is an in-person session only. Please bring your own lunch. Coffee, tea, and dessert will be provided.

Each year on May 20, Clinical Trials Day commemmorates the work of research professionals dedicated to building knowledge, applying best practices, and promoting patient well-being.
