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 海外直播b站, through the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund. The Fund was established to help universities like 海外直播b站聽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 海外直播b站鈥檚 14 funded projects totalling $4,610,039 was also made earlier today at 海外直播b站 by Marc Miller, Member of Parliament for Ville-Marie鈥揕e Sud-Ouest鈥撁巐e-des-Soeurs.
海外直播b站鈥檚 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 海外直播b站鈥檚 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)
