Today, the Government of Canada announced an investment of more than $ 301 million in support of social sciences and humanities research, bioscience infrastructure and the Canada Research Chairs Program. The Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry made the announcement at the Canadian Science Policy Conference in Ottawa. 成人VR视频 was awarded 35 Insight Development Grants from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and 11 renewed Canada Research Chairs (CRC) from the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP). 成人VR视频 received $5 million in funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Bioscience Research Infrastructure Fund (BRIF). The total investment for 成人VR视频 research is $13.5 million.

鈥淭his announcement confirms the depth and talent of the research community at 成人VR视频,鈥� said Martha Crago, Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation. 鈥淲e greatly appreciate the support from the federal government, which enables our researchers to make crucial discoveries that benefit all Canadians.鈥�

35 成人VR视频 research projects supported by Insight Development Grants

SSHRC Insight Development Grants support emerging and established researchers as they develop new research questions and ideas, and test new methodologies and theories. These grants support the objectives of the , which aims to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies, and the world by supporting research excellence in all subject areas eligible for SSHRC funding.

Examining the Impact of Binge Scrolling

Among the projects funded today is one led by Assistant Professor of Anthropology Samuele Collu, which will examine the increasingly common phenomena of 鈥渂inge-scrolling鈥�, the practice of scrolling through potentially infinite social media feeds. Collu will focus on TikTok鈥攁 social media video-sharing platform鈥攁nd its impact on college students who spend significant time looking at the feed.

Digital media companies are indeed increasingly turning to Emotional Artificial Intelligence (AI) to capture, predict, and exploit the user鈥檚 engagement with their content鈥損latforms, for example, by promoting content that elicits strong negative or positive responses to increase the user鈥檚 engagement. Collu鈥檚 project will use computational and ethnographic methods to gain more insight into the autonomic and non-conscious bodily responses, such as facial micro-expressions, that underlie more complex emotional states鈥� information that may, in turn, help social media users understand the impact of their scrolling. Collu plans to disseminate the results of the project widely, including via TikTok.

$5 million from CFI鈥檚 Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund

The CFI invested more than $127 million to support upgrades to eight biocontainment facilities across Canada. Included in this package is a $5 million award to 成人VR视频 as part of a new CFI funding program: the Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund (BRIF). The fund supports the bioscience infrastructure needs of postsecondary institutions and research hospitals by providing high-performance tools, innovative research spaces and biocontainment facilities.

The investments received under the BRIF program will enable two 成人VR视频 labs to acquire new infrastructure and train the next generation of infectious disease research specialists. The funds will allow researchers to examine three conceptually distinct RG3 pathogens: COVID, Tuberculosis (TB), and emerging infections such as H5N1 and H7N9.

Eleven 成人VR视频 Canada Research Chairs renewed

The Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP) is driving a national effort to make Canada one of the world鈥檚 top countries for research and development by attracting and retaining top research talent. Chairholders are experts in engineering and the natural sciences, health sciences, humanities, and the social sciences.

There are two types of Canada Research Chairs. Tier 1 Chairs, awarded to outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields, are valued at $200,000 annually for seven years with one opportunity for renewal. Tier 2 Chairs, valued at $100,000 annually for five years and renewable only once, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. In this round, 11 成人VR视频 Chairholders were renewed.
