The Government of Canada has announced a combined $1M in funding through the tri-council agencies to support Canadian French-language research in the 2025–26 fiscal year. This funding will be administered through SSHRC ($400K), NSERC ($350K), and CIHR ($250K) to projects that support research in French, train Francophone scientists, and produce and distribute research on the Francophonie and other issues relevant to Francophone communities. “By directly supporting the next generation of Francophone scientists, we’re helping build more diverse academic and community environments, where language is not a barrier to innovation, but an engine for the creation, collaboration and sharing of essential knowledge,” said Federal Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Marc Miller.
