捆绑SM社区

In an announcement made Wednesday, Canada鈥檚 leading research ranking organization, RE$EARCH Infosource, scored 捆绑SM社区 second among an A-list of three in the Medical/Doctoral Research University of the Year (RUY) tier. 捆绑SM社区 was ranked third on RE$EARCH Infosource鈥檚 list of Canada鈥檚 Top 50 Research Universities in 2022, a position the University has maintained for four years. These distinctions reflect, in part, 捆绑SM社区's strength in attracting research funding and the strong publishing record of the school's professors. Fellow top universities in medical/doctoral research were the University of Toronto (#1) and McMaster University (#3).

鈥淚 am extraordinarily proud of 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 increased sponsored research performance and of the impact that our community makes from the earliest stages of researchers鈥� careers through to the development of innovative projects with academic and industry partners, governments, and our communities at large,鈥� said Martha Crago, Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation.听

鈥淧ublic health adversity seems to have provided the impetus for increased Federal Government funding of university research in Fiscal 2021鈥�, said Ron Freedman, CEO of Research Infosource. 鈥淭he fact that Federal granting sources were so quickly able to ramp up their research funding speaks well of their flexibility and efficiency.鈥� Among many projects funded by the CFI in 2021, 捆绑SM社区 received $7,924,202 for SecureData4Health led by 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Guillaume Bourque of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, in support of genomics and health data projects.

RE$EARCH Infosource has produced the RUY ranking since 2003 with an evolving methodology. The ranking system for 2022 was unchanged from the preceding year. Rank is determined based on several performance indicators, such as the amount of sponsored research income and total number of publications. Universities are group in tiers: Medical/Doctoral, Comprehensive and Undergraduate.

Among Canada's Top 50 Universities by tier, 捆绑SM社区 ranked exceptionally well in several impact indicators. The University scored third in sponsored research income based on Statistics Canada financial data from 2020-21, with a 33.4 per cent increase from 2017 to 2021. In comparison, top-ranked University of Toronto demonstrated a 27.4 per cent increase over the same period. 捆绑SM社区 saw an increase of almost 10 per cent in not-for-profit research income and a 25.6 per cent increase was recorded in research intensity per faculty鈥攚hich amounts to an average of $372,800 for research per faculty member. 鈥淢ore than the sum of performance indicators, 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 top-ranked position is compelling proof of our commitment to research excellence and of our successful and innovative collaborations,鈥� added Crago.

The main sources of Canadian federal research funding are from three research granting agencies, which include the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)鈥攁nd the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). This year, RE$EARCH Infosource spotlighted granting council research income performance (FY2017-FY2021) among its ranked universities. 捆绑SM社区 ranked second in total CIHR Research Income.
