The Government of Canada is investing more than $308M into science and research across the country. The funds will be administered through the New Frontiers in Research Fund ($143M), the Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program ($153M), and NSERC ($9M). The Canada Foundation for Innovation also provided $4.4M to the CRC program to help 17 research chairs build and outfit their labs. “We know that the science of today is the economy of tomorrow,” said Canada Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry François-Philippe Champagne. “With these investments, we are empowering our brightest minds to push the boundaries of discovery, tackle complex global challenges, and create real solutions that will improve lives and the world we live in.”
