"nserc continues to be a critical source of grants for lakehead university researchers, enabling them to explore new areas of study or continue research projects," says dr. rui wang, vice-president (research, economic development & innovation). "阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is encouraged by the quality and quantity of research funded by nserc, without which lakehead researchers would be unable to continue their vital work. these grants also enable researchers to hire graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to assist on projects, providing opportunity for lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 to be involved in seminal work."
the recent restructuring of the nserc discovery grant program has presented a great funding challenge to nserc-supported researchers across the country, especially those located at small and medium universities. lakehead university is working with nserc to improve the success of its nserc-funded research programs under the new funding protocols. "research matters to lakehead, to our community, and to our nation. to stand out in nserc competitions is a test of character and our researchers are certainly up to the challenge," says dr. wang. in order to support and facilitate lakehead researchers to excel in the nserc discovery grant competition, lakehead is proud to announce additional internal bridge funding, this year, to seven lakehead researchers in the natural science and engineering research disciplines.
as well as the nserc discovery grants awards, dr. aicheng chen (chemistry) has received an nserc research tools and instruments grant worth $53,233 and six 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have received a total of $168,000 in nserc scholarships.
"阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researchers as a whole continue to excel in their fields of study," emphasizes dr. brian stevenson, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 president. "the work they do has enormous economic and social impacts, and researchers receiving nserc discovery grants are pivotal to lakehead's commitment to be a catalyst for economic development in the communities we serve."
