Grants and Contributions

Through the application of national and local priorities, the CSJ program seeks to provide youth, particularly those who face barriers to employment with access to work opportunities. Funded employers must demonstrate that they are providing quality work experiences for youth that provide opportunities to develop and improve their skills.

The purpose of the Salmon Enhancement Transfer Payment Program is to enhance salmon stocks and their habitat through supporting hatchery production, public education, stewardship and engagement activities therefore contributing to salmon conservation, ecosystem health and sustainable salmon fisheries.

NSERC's PromoScience Program offers financial support for Science Odyssey which is Canada's largest celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, featuring fun and inspiring experiences in museums, research centres, laboratories and classrooms from coast to coast. Powered by NSERC, Science Odyssey demonstrates how discoveries and innovations shape our daily lives and foster a strong science culture in Canada.

This project aims to reduce poverty and improve the well-being and gender equality for women and their families through equitable and sustainable aquaculture development. It responds to current issues around inadequate income sources, social marginalization, food insecurity, and women’s unequal access to resources while consolidating previous success in the region through two phases of the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund (2011-2014; 2015-2018).

The project uses the triangular model of cooperation between Bolivian, Brazilian and Canadian partners, including the Centre for Rural Agricultural Promotion (Bolivia); Ingenieria Marketing Gestion Consulting S.R.L. (Bolivia); Asociación de Productores Norte Integrado (Bolivian women-led aquaculture producer association); CIDRE (a Brazilian financial organization); Royal Roads University; University of Victoria (Gender Studies); and EMBRAPA (Brazilian state agricultural research and development company) to achieve sustainable results.

Project activities include: (1) providing technical training for gender-responsible best aquaculture practices and pond management and technological innovations; (2) supporting women-led social entrepreneurship initiatives; (3) improving value-added production and marketing support; (4) supporting response protocols for facilitating access to local support groups (mitigating gender-based violence) and reducing participation barriers; (5) establishing a gender oversight committee for training and project review as well as an aquaculture roundtable; and (6) supporting training activities with producers in governance and equitable participation.

The project benefits approximately 5,000 recipients targeting 10 ten municipalities in the Departments of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and Tarija.

The NSERC's PromoScience Program offers financial support for organizations working with young Canadians to promote an understanding of science and engineering (including mathematics and technology). Organizations may request funds for up to three years at a time.
