Chairholders work across a diversity of fields to advance knowledge and discovery, improve quality of life, strengthen Canada’s international competitiveness, and train the next generation of highly skilled talent.
The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), a partner of the CRC program, also announced an investment of $9.5 million for cutting-edge research infrastructure to support chairholders.
