How will this affect my NSERC Collaborative Research & Development grant (CRD) application?
The NSERC CRD grant will match the direct costs of research charged to industry sponsors. As overhead is charged to the industry partner in addition to the direct costs, the amount requested in the CRD application is unaffected by the changes being introduced. The University will collect overhead on the NSERC portion of the direct costs separately through the Indirect Costs Program.
