Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Awards for Science Promotion

The NSERC Awards for Science Promotion honour individuals and groups who make an outstanding contribution to the promotion of science in Canada through activities encouraging popular interest in science or developing science abilities. Two recipients (one individual and one group) may be selected for the awards each year. 

Nominators may be colleagues or people who have benefited from the nominee’s contributions, such as teachers, parents, community members or administrators. For nominations within post-secondary institutions, nominations can be from senior administrators within the institution as long as the award does not directly benefit the nominators.

Value: The individual recipient will receive an award of $10,000. The winning group will be awarded $25,000 to further science promotion activities. Funds paid to winners of this prize are subject to the PromoScience Grants Guide.

Eligibility: Any individual, registered non-profit organization, postsecondary institution, non-federal museum, science centre or company within Canada may be nominated for the award.
