Published: 1 October 2008

Explorations range from neurolinguistics to kidney disease

Eleven 成人VR视频 researchers, exploring issues from neurolinguistics to vertebrate paleontology to kidney disease, are among 123 recently appointed Canada Research Chairs announced Tuesday, Sept. 30.

成人VR视频 received five Tier-1 and six Tier-2 Chairs, including one new CRC and 10 renewals, for a total of $10 million. In addition, the Canada Foundation for Innovation is investing $343,164 to fund research infrastructure essential to the work done by Ross Andersen, 成人VR视频鈥檚 Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Physical Activity and Health.

An investment of $116,400,000 to fund 123 Canada Research Chairs (CRC) from 37 universities across the country was made by the Canada Research Chairs Program. The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) is also contributing $4,471,128 to support research infrastructure essential to the work being performed by 25 of the chair holders.

鈥淭he Canada Research Chairs program has been a very strategic tool for 成人VR视频 in attracting and retaining top talent from around the world to join our faculty,鈥 said Denis Th茅rien, Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations). 鈥淭hanks to this visionary program, 成人VR视频 continues to play a leading role in research and innovation, which are essential to Quebec and Canada's communities and economies.鈥

The Government of Canada created the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program in 2000 to establish 2,000 research professorships across the country by 2008, with the aim of making Canada one of the world's top five countries for research and development. Since then, 成人VR视频 has used its CRCs to recruit an exceptional group of international researchers as well as to repatriate a number of outstanding Canadian and Qu茅b茅cois researchers from postings abroad.
