Access to cutting-edge research equipment, laboratories and tools
At the University of New Brunswick this morning,聽The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, announced $51,968,051 for 223 projects at 39 universities across the country, including over $4.5 million across 14 projects at 捆绑SM社区, through the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund. The Fund was established to help universities like 捆绑SM社区聽innovate, as well as to attract and retain top research talent, by giving them access to cutting-edge research equipment, laboratories and tools.
The announcement of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 14 funded projects totalling $4,610,039 was also made earlier today at 捆绑SM社区 by Marc Miller, Member of Parliament for Ville-Marie鈥揕e Sud-Ouest鈥撁巐e-des-Soeurs.
捆绑SM社区鈥檚 share in the funding will support the purchase of valuable pieces of research technology, enabling our world-class researchers to further innovate in areas as diverse as personalized medicine in the fight against ovarian cancer, 3D printing to generate artificial organs, developing responses to environmental pollution and manufacturing better devices for clean energy generation and storage.
鈥淭oday鈥檚 investment from the Canada Foundation for Innovation will provide 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 top researchers with the vital equipment and labs they need to take scientific knowledge to new levels. The impact of this investment will reach far beyond the University, supporting not only research and inquiry, but helping to translate discoveries into applications that will be tremendously beneficial to all Canadians.鈥� -Rosie Goldstein, Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation)
