Researchers in the Faculty of Science have received $580,500 in funding through the Discovery Grants program, part of the more than $7.1 million awarded to faculty across campus.
Offered through the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Discovery Grants program supports the fundamental research of Science faculty. These foundational grants position our faculty to pursue promising avenues of research, recognizing that creativity and innovation are the driving factors behind all research advances.
Discovery grants provide support and facilitate access to funding from other programs. This year’s new funding supports research across the faculty. Warm congratulations to new and renewed recipients in Science!
