The Community-Led Inclusive Recovery initiative is a sub-component under the Support to Ukraine’s Reforms for Governance project (SURGe, P-006680-001). In response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, certain project activities were adapted to address new immediate needs and protect previous development gains. Canada’s development partners in Ukraine pivoted project activities to respond to the evolving context in several ways such as providing emergency supplies, equipment and services, and mental health support , transportation and accommodation. The beneficiaries, scope, expected results and geographic location of project activities may have changed from the original description.

The SURGe project aims to improve the quality of life of Ukraine’s citizens, particularly women and girls, through inclusive, citizen-centric and gender-responsive reforms managed by the Government of Ukraine. The project uses a responsive expert deployment mechanism to enhance and strengthen the Government’s reform management.

Under SURGe, the Community-Led Inclusive Recovery component provides technical assistance and support to the government of Ukraine to develop a national approach for community-led recovery initiatives and roll out a national digital planning and monitoring platform. The project deploys technical experts to work directly with Ukrainian municipalities on building inclusive recovery plans aligned with national frameworks and priorities. The plans respond to the specific needs of women and girls, returning veterans, marginalized groups, and those displaced by the war.

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.

Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.

Connect Grants provide financial support for the Canadian research community to undertake activities that will help make Canada a country of discoverers and innovators for the benefit of all Canadians. These activities must advance NSERC’s Research Partnerships and/or one or more of the goals outlined in NSERC’s 2020 Strategic Plan.
