$1.25 million for 涩里番 research from the New Frontiers in Research Fund
Federal fund will support transformative high risk, high reward research across engineering, science, and medicine at 涩里番.
Five 涩里番 research teams are recipients of $1.25 million in total funding from the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), part of a nearly $23鈥�million federal investment supporting 92 research projects across Canada.听听
The NFRF funds interdisciplinary, high-risk, high-reward, transformative research led by Canadian researchers working with Canadian and international partners. The program is administered by the Tri-agency Institutional Programs Secretariat, which is housed within the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), on behalf of Canada鈥檚 three federal research funding agencies: SSHRC, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).听
