COVID-19 NSERC/SSHRC Grant Extension Requests
The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) have announced that due to the current COVID-19 situation, academic institutions can immediately approve grant extension requests of up to 12 months. This applies to Agency grants with end dates between February 1, 2020 and March 31, 2021 inclusive. This applies to all grants, regardless of whether they have received a previous time extension of any length, for any reason and includes grants that have an automatic one-year extension.
Research Services will facilitate these requests and will initially prioritize grants with an end date or expiry date of March 31, 2020. All other requests will be processed thereafter.
If you wish to proceed with a request to extend an NSERC or SSHRC grant with an end date in this window, please email
[email protected]ary.ca with the following information, and an email subject heading of “COVID-19 grant extension”:
- PI name
- Internal project number
