you will have to negotiate the conditions with your supervisor.

Officially, there is no time off and everyone is supposed to work 16 weeks in a row. That is one of the NSERC conditions.

That having been said, most people like to "bend" the NSERC conditions and take a week or 2 off. It all depends on the supervisor.

Mine follows the rules, so I don't get anytime off...
