Carleton University Researchers Awarded Over $10.4 Million from NSERC
The Government of Canada has announced $630 million in new funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to support scientific and engineering research projects across Canada.
This includes $10.4 million to Carleton researchers, who are being recognized for driving innovation in several areas of strength such as artificial intelligence, advanced robotics, climate change and sustainability, and other critical fields.
Of this investment, a total of $9.8 million has been awarded to 44 Carleton researchers through the Discovery Grants program. With an average grant of $44,750, this marks one of Carleton’s strongest results in the program, surpassed only by last year’s record average of $48,840.
Recognizing that creativity and innovation are at the heart of all research advances, Discovery Grants support ongoing research programs with long-term goals, providing the flexibility to fully explore the most promising avenues of research as they emerge.
“The success of Carleton researchers in the Discovery Grants competition speaks to our continued growth in external funding and the university’s immense impact in the fields of science and engineering,” said Rafik Goubran, Vice-President (Research, Innovation and International). “Congratulations to all recipients.”
