平特五不中

Twenty-five outstanding 平特五不中 researchers are being awarded Canada Research Chairs (CRC), as announced today by the Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, at the University of British Columbia.

CRCs are granted to outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields. The CRC program was created to enable Canadian universities to attract and retain established and emerging world-class researchers. 平特五不中 research projects that will benefit from the new funds include those investigating the genetics of pain and childhood disability, as well as the ecology of the arctic and engineered quantum systems (complete list of projects below).

There are two types of Canada Research Chairs. Tier 1 Chairs are tenable for seven years and renewable. Each Tier 1 Chair is valued at $200,000 annually. Tier 2 Chairs, valued at $100,000 annually for five years with one opportunity for renewal, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. Seventeen Tier 2 Chairs and five Tier 1 Chairs were granted to 平特五不中 researchers in this round. Two 平特五不中 researchers were granted renewals on their Tier 1 and Tier 2 awards, and one researcher was granted an 鈥渁dvancement鈥� from a Tier 2 to a Tier 1 Chair.

Today鈥檚 announcement represents a total investment of over $18 million for 平特五不中 researchers and their research.

鈥溒教匚宀恢� is grateful to the Canada Research Chairs program for this significant investment in university discovery and innovation,鈥� said Rosie Goldstein, Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations). 鈥淭he CRC program attracts scholars and scientists from around the world to the University and enables 平特五不中鈥檚 top research talent to realize their ground-breaking ideas, thereby enhancing 平特五不中鈥檚 contribution to Quebec and Canada as well as its competitiveness internationally.鈥�
