The Government of Canada has announced new funding through the New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) Exploration program to support transformative, interdisciplinary research projects across the country, including $250,000 over two years for Carleton University researcher Carlos Rossa.
Rossa from the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering is being recognized for his medical robotics and imaging work, along with co-grantees Nicola Schieda (Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa) and Andy Adler (Faculty of Engineering and Design, Carleton).
This grant will contribute to the development of a new imaging method to improve confidence in biopsy results for prostate cancer, reduce procedure times and the number of required biopsies, and provide new data to guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Administered by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, this grant supports high-risk, high-reward and interdisciplinary research. It is designed for researchers who push boundaries into exciting new areas, undertake work that challenges current paradigms, bring disciplines together in unexpected ways and have the potential to be disruptive or deliver game-changing impacts.
