NSERC Discovery Launch Supplement

In plain language

Automatic $12.5K one-time supplement layered on top of the first Discovery Grant for early-career researchers (within 5 years of independent appointment). No separate application — flagged at Discovery Grant submission. Easy money if you qualify, but only useful in conjunction with a successful DG application.
