Congratulations to six Water Institute researchers who have been awarded Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council’s (NSERC) Alliance Grant funding.
The funding is from the NSERC Alliance Grants program, which encourages university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.
The grants are part of the recently released 2021 funding decisions totalling over $159-million.
