The goal of NRF is to enhance research conducted by researchers using
the facilities and services of the CNSC. The fund is available to assist
researchers in meeting the financial needs of projects that will lead to
increased knowledge relevant to the people living in the north,
particularly in the region around Churchill. NRF support for 2007,
available through the application process, is anticipated to consist of:
- 250 user-days (CNSC accommodation and meals) and 100 vehicle-days
(vehicle support from the CNSC fleet) compliments of the CNSC.
- $7,000 CAD in direct monetary support provided by
Manitoba Conservation.
- Various Winnipeg-Churchill travel vouchers compliments of Calm Air
International.

Using the CNSC's board-approved fee schedule as a reference, the total
valuation of all NRF support for the 2007 field season will be
approximately $25,000 CAD.
