The University of Toronto and Sinai Health have received new donations to support the study of science in sport. A $20M gift from the Larry and Judy Tanenbaum Family Foundation will be used to establish the Tanenbaum Institute for Science in Sport at U of T. The institute will provide a space for collaboration between U of T faculties and Sinai Health’s clinics and research institutes, and will focus on modeling and predicting athlete performance and using data to improve health outcomes for high-performance athletes. An additional $20M from the U of T and Sinai Health will be used to establish a Directorship and Research Acceleration Fund; create two new chairs in Sport Science and Data Modelling and Musculoskeletal Regenerative Medicine; create a Professorship in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine; and fund research, innovations, and clinical programs.
