The RTI Grants Program provides the primary avenue for university researchers in the natural sciences and engineering to obtain up to $150,000 in support for research tools and instruments with a net cost between $7,001 and $250,000. Applications for equipment costing up to $250,000 will be accepted provided the applicant has secured funding to cover the amount in excess of $150,000 (confirmation is required at the time of submission).
Proposals can include items that form a comprehensive system intended to support a single or multiple research programs. The bundling of unrelated equipment is not acceptable.

Universities are provided with a quota for the number of RTI applications that they can submit to NSERC.
The RTI quota for University of Lethbridge this year is 4
Given the quota restriction, the university must decide which applications to submit to NSERC through an internal selection process.
The deadline for Expressions of Interest is August 15, 2016.
For full details on how to apply for an RTI grant and the internal selection process, please see the attached PDF or contact Gillian Laird in the Office of Research and Innovation Services (gillian.laird@uleth.ca; x2101)
