Overview
The objective of the Subatomic Physics Major Resources Support (SAP-MRS) program is to financially assist major and unique national and international (but based in Canada) research resources, to remain in a state of readiness for access by Canadian subatomic physics researchers. The SAP-MRS program also enables Canadian researchers to come together as national user consortia to access a necessary major international resource located outside of Canada.
