What is the duration of the award?
If you are a successful applicant, NSERC will contribute to your salary for a maximum of 60 months. The duration of the UFA will equal that of the awarded Discovery Grant, up to a maximum of five years. If the duration of your Discovery Grant is less than five years, you will have to apply for and receive a Discovery Grant renewal in order to receive the subsequent UFA instalments (up to a total maximum of five years).
