Toronto Star reporter Janet Hurley recently reported on the breakdown of recipients of the inaugural Canada Impact+ Research Training Awards, which were used to attract international and expatriate researchers. Nearly half of the 659 award recipients are citizens of the United States (101), China (93), Iran (71), and India (53), while 54 recipients were expatriates returning from abroad. Hurley reports that 195 of the recipients were living in the United States at the time of the nomination. A total of 20 institutions secured at least one post through the program, with the greatest numbers of awards granted by the University of Toronto (89 awards worth $11.34M), the University of British Columbia (52; $6.6M), and McGill University (46; $5.86M).
