Largest federal government university research grant in Atlantic Canadian history
| This research is enabled by the largest federal government university research award in Dalhousie — and Atlantic Canadian — history: a $35-million investment by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI); supplemented by an additional $10 million from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC); and $327,000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). This investment will leverage in excess of $100 million of in kind and financial contributions from our OTN partners world-wide. |

"This support from the federal government follows a rigorous merit review of proposals submitted by universities across Canada. For Dalhousie to have been successful is a recognition of the timeliness of this research," said Dr. Carl Breckenridge, VP (Research). "It also recognizes the international expertise of Dalhousie's scientists, particularly the leadership of marine biologist Dr. Ron O'Dor."
