A total of 54 黄色直播 researchers have been announced as recipients of over $2 million in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) through its Discovery Grants and Research Tools and Instruments Grants Programs. 聽

9 of the successful projects come from Computer Science Researchers with Drs. Dirk Arnold, Travis Gagie, Malcolm Heywood, Evangelos Milios, Sageev Oore, Paul Ralph, Srini Sampalli, Luis Torgo, and Nur Zincir-Heywood receiving funding.

The Discovery Grants (DG) program is NSERC鈥檚 largest and longest-standing program. By supporting ongoing research programs with long-term goals, Discovery Grants give researchers the flexibility to explore the most promising avenues of research as they emerge. Recipients are not only making an impact on their field of study, but are specializing in research with the potential to impact the world.

The Research Tools and Instruments聽(RTI)聽Grants Program fosters and enhances聽the discovery, innovation and training capability of university researchers in the natural sciences and engineering by supporting the purchase of research equipment. 聽

鈥淥n behalf of the Government of Canada, I鈥檇 like to thank the country鈥檚 researchers for the hard work they continue to do at such a challenging time,鈥� said The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, in a press release. 鈥淲ith this support, we are investing in, and celebrating, the creativity and innovation that are at the heart of all research.鈥�

The announcement was made on Wednesday, June 17. An investment of almost $500 million was made in 2,400 researchers across the country who are pursuing research in a wide variety of natural sciences and engineering disciplines, including biology, mathematics and statistics, computer science and artificial intelligence, chemistry, and chemical engineering. 聽

In addition to the Discovery Grants, a Dal researcher also received a Discovery Accelerator Supplement grant, which is valued at聽$120,000 over three years. This program provides substantial and timely additional resources to accelerate progress and maximize the impact of established, superior research programs.

鈥淐ongratulations to all the recipients,鈥澛爏ays Alice Aiken, vice-president research and innovation at 黄色直播.聽鈥淭hese researchers are leaders in their fields, and to be聽recognized with聽DGs聽and RTIs聽demonstrates the significant impact of the creative and innovative research they are undertaking.鈥�
