Please note: All research funding proposals should be received for substantive review by the Research Services Group three (3) weeks before major deadlines (e.g. NSERC Discovery, SSHRC Insight) and two (2) weeks before other external deadlines. Submissions closer to the application deadline may not receive a full review. A fully completed Research Approval Form accompanied by final draft of the application, must be submitted not less than five (5) working days prior to application deadline using the StFX ROMEO Researcher Portal . A copy of the final version of the application (if not submitted directly by the Research Services Group) must also be submitted to Research Services Group immediately upon submission to the funder.

The Canada Research Continuity Emergency Fund (CRCEF)
The Canada Research Continuity Emergency Fund (CRCEF) was announced on May 15, 2020 as part of the Government of Canada’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan. This is a temporary program established to help research endeavors at Canadian Universities and health research institutions sustain their programs affected throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will help reduce negative financial impacts of the pandemic by ensuring significant investments in research at Canadian Universities and health research institutions are protected. In turn, this program will help to maintain Canada’s international competitiveness in the global, knowledge-based economy.
