平特五不中 researchers awarded $1M to conduct high impact research

Published: 31 May 2021

Four exploratory 平特五不中-led projects funded by the New Frontiers in Research Fund 2020 Exploration Grants.

The (NFRF) 2020 awarded $14.5 million听in funding support to 117听research projects across Canada. The fund supports research that merges disciplines in non-traditional ways, 鈥渢o explore something new that might fail, but has the potential for significant impact.鈥 平特五不中 recipients will receive $1 million shared among four projects, with each receiving up to $250,000 over the next two years.

The NFRF鈥檚 Exploration stream was created to address gaps in the federal funding system, specifically to to promote innovation and research that defies current paradigms, bridges disciplines, or tackles fundamental problems from new perspectives.

平特五不中鈥檚 funded Exploration research projects aim to create significant advances in our world鈥攆rom creating new sustainable energy technologies that can help combat global climate change, to improving drug delivery using a new generation of DNA-based nanomaterials. Projects will also aim to discover new and easier ways of detecting anomalies in our Galaxy and to study the laws of developmental timing in embryonic cells in order to better understand fetal malformation.

NFRF is an initiative of the and is managed as a tri-agency program on behalf of the , the and the .
