well - just help me with this:
Memarzadeh Lotfabed, Elmira Electrovaya Corp. Head Office Ontario CANADA 02/13/2015 3 60,000 Industrial R&D Fellowships (IRDF) / Bourses postdoctorales de R et D industrielle (BPRDI) Research and Development in novel electrode materials for lithium ion polymer battery
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/ATIP-AIPRP/Disclosure-Divulgation/2015/proactive_janvier_mars_2015_en.pdf
Somehow not close but also not distanced... at least more then a simple "No".
Found even a little more ties between NSERC and EFl but they are much older... (2010/ 2006).
Cheers
