$15.4 million of federal funding will support 20 leading research projects

Federal Industry Minister Tony Clement today announced an investment of $275.6 million to fund 310 new or renewed Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) at 53 Canadian universities, of which $15.4 million has been allocated to research at 成人VR视频. The announcement came at the opening of a two-day regional conference organized to mark the 10th anniversary of the program.

鈥淭he Government of Canada is continuing its longstanding commitment to invest in science and technology to create jobs, strengthen the economy and improve Canadians鈥 quality of life,鈥 Clement said. 鈥淔or the past 10 years, the Canada Research Chairs Program has brought breakthroughs in clean energy, the control of infectious disease, business management and digital technologies. This funding will help strengthen Canada鈥檚 capacity for leading-edge research while, at the same time, building economic opportunities for Canadians.鈥

The funding announcement concerns 20 researchers at 成人VR视频, who cover a broad range of subjects. Two were new nominations. 鈥淭he Canada Research Chairs program is a vital part of our country鈥檚 strategy to ensure that our research initiatives are at a world- class level and remain internationally competitive,鈥 said Heather Munroe-Blum, 成人VR视频鈥檚 Principal and Vice-Chancellor. 鈥淲e thank the Government of Canada for its continued support of this outstanding program and I congratulate 成人VR视频鈥檚 CRC recipients.鈥

鈥淭oday鈥檚 announcement is further proof that 成人VR视频 continues to attract and retain world-leading researchers,鈥 said Rima Rozen, 成人VR视频鈥檚 Interim Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations). 鈥淭he research made possible by this funding will significantly increase our understanding of a wide range of fields, and contribute to Canada鈥檚 position as an innovator within the global community.鈥

Dr. Matt Dobbs, Department of Physics, a CRC holder, was thrilled by the long-term research prospects that have been enabled by today鈥檚 announcement. 鈥淥ver the course of the next half-decade, my research group and I will be probing the physics governing the evolution of the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e hope to understand how the universe was born and evolved, including the recent 鈥 by cosmological standards 鈥 phenomena of Dark Energy.鈥

The Chairs are divided into two pools, with Tier One researchers receiving $200,000 per year for seven years (totaling $1.4 million), and Tier Two researchers receiving $100,000 per year for five years (totaling $500,000).
