What is the process to get the DAS profiled over a different number of years?
DAS recipients must contact NSERC, after the award has been made, should they wish to profile the supplement funds differently than over three years. Given that the objective of the supplement is to accelerate research, NSERC will normally agree to profile the funding over a shorter period (i.e., less than three years) to ensure that a significant funding boost can be provided. In certain exceptional circumstances, NSERC may agree to profile the supplement over a period longer than three years. In any case, a written justification must be provided. Note that the total amount of the supplement will remain at $120,000.
