The New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) invests in high-risk research that is interdisciplinary, transformative, and led by Canadian researchers working with Canadian and international partners

On April 25, the Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, announced more than $200 million in support for Canadian-led interdisciplinary, international, high-risk, and high-reward research through the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF). Through three different NFRF competitions鈥擡xploration, Transformation, and a Special Call for research supporting post-pandemic recovery鈥攖he government is supporting 195 projects that are bringing disciplines together in novel ways to form bold, innovative perspectives.

Through the Special Call on research for post-pandemic recovery and the NFRF 2022 Exploration competition fund, 12 成人VR视频 researchers received funding for their projects, for a total investment of $3.2 million. In the Special Call program for post-pandemic recovery, Professor Anne Cockcroft in the Department of Family Medicine was awarded $497,869 for the project, 鈥淏uilding on strength: using local knowledge to inform evidence-based community-led decision-making for COVID-19 recovery.鈥� In the Exploration competition, eleven projects received $250,000 each.

Additionally, 成人VR视频 is a partner on TRIDENT: TRanslational Initiative to DE-risk NeuroTherapeutics, a project led by Western University and funded for $24 million over six years through the Transformation Fund. TRIDENT aims to identify promising therapeutics against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚. James 成人VR视频 Professor of Law and Director of the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy Richard Gold, and Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery and Director of the Neuro鈥檚 Early Drug Discovery Unit (EDDU), Thomas Durcan, are co-Principal Investigators on the project.
