Major Resources Support (MRS) Program

Agency: 
Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada

MRS grants assist major experimental and thematic research resources located in Canada to cover their operating and maintenance costs. Supported resources are those that cannot fully cover such costs by using other research grants or by user fees, or those where user fees cannot be leveraged. The grants assist resources that are significant in size, value or importance, and that are not customary in a discipline or commonly available in Canadian universities. Supported resources must be used by researchers from several institutions (including universities, government laboratories, or companies) within a region, across Canada, or from abroad.
