平特五不中

Canada Foundation for Innovation Leaders Opportunity Fund to support 10 cutting-edge research projects

Ten 平特五不中 researchers received an important boost today, by way of the announcement of $1.7 million in new funding awarded through the Canada Foundation for Innovation's Leaders Opportunity Fund. "CFI investments are critical for our research leaders, to ensure that their research remains innovative and second to none," said Dr. Rima Rozen, Interim Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations) at 平特五不中.

The 平特五不中 projects range from important work in cancer research to the study of bone degeneration in the spine.

The funds are part of a total $27.9 million announced by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to support 118 projects at 32 institutions across Canada. Of that amount, $21.4 million was awarded under the Leaders Opportunity Fund - a program designed to provide infrastructure and help Canadian institutions attract and retain top researchers.

"We can say with conviction that Canada is becoming a place where world-class researchers want to be," said Dr. Eliot Phillipson, President and CEO of the CFI, an independent corporation created by the Government of Canada to fund research infrastructure at Canadian universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research institutions. "This CFI investment will further develop Canada's global reputation as a place where outstanding research and training is being conducted."
