* As a reminder, NSERC eliminated the RTI institutional quota but limited the number of applications any one researcher can be on to one (as PI or co-applicant).

* Finally, information is attached as a reminder of RTI Webinars hosted by NSERC - upcoming webinars are scheduled for 31 August 2017 and 14 September 2017.
