NSERC Offers Prize for Interdisciplinary Research
In a tribute to the late Dr. Brockhouse’s pursuit of excellence in research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is offering an interdisciplinary research prize. The Brockhouse Canada Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Engineering recognizes Canadian teams of researchers from different disciplines who have combined their expertise to produce achievements of exceptional and international significance in the natural sciences and engineering in the past six years.
The winning team will collect a $250,000 research grant and each member will receive a medal and a certificate. The grant will be used for university-based research and will support direct costs of the team’s research and/or direct enhancement of its research facilities.
Interdisciplinary research teams with a majority of members working in Canadian universities or public and private organizations are eligible. At least one member of the team must hold an NSERC grant.
