The NCE Secretariat expects to launch a competition for the NCE program in April 2017. Networks can receive up to $25M from NCE over a five-year period. The NCEs are large-scale academic-led research networks that bring together multi-disciplinary partners from academia, industry, government and not-for-profit organizations. Partners provide additional expertise and contribute cash and in-kind support. Networks perform R&D as well as translation and commercialization activities. They also enable Canadian researchers and students to work with receptor communities to accelerate the creation and application of knowledge.

Dalhousie researchers are invited to an NCE information session on Wednesday, April 12th from 10:00 am – 11:30 am in Room #1007, Ken Rowe Management Building.
