This information session is geared towards faculty members who are considering submitting a New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Exploration Grant in the upcoming 2025 competition. If you’re curious about whether your research aligns with this program, this is the information session for you. This funding opportunity supports high-risk, high-reward, interdisciplinary research that pushes boundaries into exciting new areas.

This event, open to the entire Carleton campus, is being hosted by the Research Facilitators in the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Engineering and Design, Public and Global Affairs, Science, and the Sprott School of Business.

Our session will:
• Provide an overview of the NFRF – Exploration program and strategies for developing a competitive proposal; and,
• Discuss the evaluation criteria and adjudication process.

A panel of Carleton faculty members who have sat on NFRF – Exploration peer review committees will share their insights and field questions from the audience.

Please note the NFRF will also be hosting a webinar for the mandatory Notice of Intent on May 22. We encourage you to attend both events as they will have different content.
