CREATE Program

The NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience (CREATE) Program supports the training of teams of highly qualified students and postdoctoral fellows from Canada and abroad through the development of innovative training programs that:

  • encourage collaboration and integrative approaches and address significant scientific challenges associated with Canada's research priorities; and

  • facilitate the transition of new researchers from trainees to productive employees in the Canadian workforce.
