The PREA program was introduced in 1998 "to help Ontario's world-class researchers attract talented people to their research teams and to encourage innovation among the province's brightest young researchers at universities, colleges, hospitals and research institutes". In 2006 the program was reintroduced under the new name ERA. It's slated to spend $85 million in provincial funding over ten years, matched by $42.5 million from other sources. To date, 15 faculty members in Combinatorics and Optimization have received awards.
