VI. GRANTS AND CONTRACTS N.B. Please note that NSERC is the Canadian analogue of the NSF, while MRC/CIHR are the analogues of NIH. Grant amounts are not comparable between the Canadian and US system. This is because in the Canadian granting system there are no indirect/overhead costs on grants, personal support (summer salary) is almost never allowed, and the majority of graduate students have their own support. Therefore, grant amounts are direct costs for postdocs, supplies, travel, etc.
