StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO--(June 17, 2011) - Over 3,800 scientists, engineers and students at universities across Canada will receive support for research programs and advanced training, thanks to a new investment by the Government of Canada. The announcement was made by the Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology); Rick Dykstra, Member of Parliament for St. Catharines; and Suzanne Fortier, President of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), while speaking at Brock University.
"Our government is investing in the people and ideas that will produce tomorrow's breakthroughs in order to keep Canada's economy growing and create new jobs," said Minister Goodyear. "This research will improve the quality of life of Canadians, while helping universities develop, attract and retain leading scientists and engineers."The successful applicants, from universities across the country, will receive over $411 million in grants and scholarships over terms ranging from one to five years.
These awards comprise the 2011 competition results for NSERC's Discovery Grants, Discovery Accelerator Supplements, Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarships, NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships and Postdoctoral Fellowships programs.Among the grantees, Brock University psychology professor Catherine Mondloch is receiving a Discovery Grant and a Discovery Accelerator Supplement for her research on how children recognize faces. The result of her work is being used by researchers around the world to investigate cases of children with autism or infantile brain lesions.
"These programs are key tools for unleashing the creative power of our most innovative students and researchers," said Dr. Fortier. "The Discovery Grants Program has an outstanding international reputation because it has a very broad scope and offers researchers a lot of flexibility. Our scholarships and fellowships programs play a key role in attracting and retaining the best brains in Canada.
"The Discovery Grants Program supports ongoing programs of research in every scientific and engineering discipline. Of the 2,003 recipients, 123 have been identified to receive a Discovery Accelerator Supplement in addition to their Discovery Grant. Valued at $120,000 over three years, the awards are given to top-ranked researchers judged by their peers to show strong potential for becoming international leaders.
