What do the signatures on the application mean?
For applications submitted on paper – One copy of the grant application must bear the original signatures of the applicant and co-applicant(s), and the department head and president of the institution (or their representatives). An institution may also require a signature from the faculty.* If the applicant is normally the signing authority for the department, faculty or institution, another senior official must sign instead. For applications submitted electronically using the On-Line System – USER ID/password-based “signatures” are established in the eSubmission functionalities allowing applicants, supporting organizations and authorized institutional representatives such as Research Grants Officers, Scholarships Liaison Officers and Business Officers to “sign” and submit on-line applications and other documents to NSERC. See eSubmission and Electronic Signatures in the instructions for the program for which you are applying.
