Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) is the national instrument for promoting innovative thinking and discovery in the natural sciences and engineering. Through its partnership programs, NSERC also helps innovations happen by encouraging Canadian companies to invest in university research.

Typically, approximately 10% of Tri-Agency funding that is brought into the Faculty of Education is from NSERC (Source: Faculty of Education External Review, 2005). To learn about the major NSERC funding programs please visit the NSERC web site.
