UAlberta receives $93.5M donation for women’s, children’s health research

The University of Alberta’s Women and Children’s Health Research Institute will receive $93.5M over the next 10 years to support research on women’s and children’s health. The donation, which UAlberta says is the largest in its history, was given by the Stollery Children’s Health Foundation (SCHF) and the Alberta Women’s Health Foundation. SCHF President Karen Faulkner explained that the funding will enable the university to attract and maintain the top talent in the field, adding that, “[w]e need to have the best possible care for our kids, and we can only do that if we invest in research and innovation.”
