From nanoparticles to aquatic ecosystems

Multidisciplinary research projects at U of T

The Natural Science and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) has awarded 福利姬自慰researchers a total of $7.3 million through its Strategic Network Grants (SNG) and Strategic Project Grants (SPG) programs. 

The SNG program is designed to increase research and training in targeted areas that could enhance Canada鈥檚 economy, society and environment within the next decade. This funding is focused on large-scale, multidisciplinary research projects in targeted research areas that require a network approach and involve collaboration between academic and Canadian-based organizations. 

The SPG program helps to address Canada鈥檚 science and technology priorities. The primary goal of these grants is to increase research and training in targeted areas that, like the SNG program, could enhance Canada鈥檚 economy, society and/or environment in the next 10 years. 

鈥淭his funding is a tremendous boost to U of T鈥檚 ability to address real-world problems that affect all Canadians,鈥 said Professor Paul Young, U of T鈥檚 vice-president (research and innovation). 鈥淲e are deeply thankful to the Government of Canada and NSERC for this investment in our applied research.鈥

U of T鈥檚 research awarded through the SNG program:

鈥&苍产蝉辫;Donald Jackson, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology (EEB), lead researcher for the Canadian Network for Aquatic Ecosytem Services 鈥 $4.4 million for 18 researchers from 11 Canadian universities, along with 10 scientists from government, two industrial partners and a provincially-funded technology futures organization.
