This funding will support researchers across the country as they pursue research in a wide variety of natural sciences and engineering disciplines, including biology, mathematics and statistics, computer science and artificial intelligence, chemistry, and chemical engineering. It also includes support for early-career researchers who will bring new perspectives and insights to their fields, enabling them to become the research leaders of tomorrow.
UBC researchers were awarded a total of $37.1m for 183 projects through the Discovery Grants, Research Tools and Instruments Grants and Subatomic Particle Physics Grants programs. A supplementary $3m was awarded through Discovery Accelerator and Discovery Launch grants and the Northern Research and Ship Time supplementary programs. The awards are as follows:
- 156 Discovery Grants with a combined investment of $33.4m over five years,
- 16 Discovery Accelerator Supplements worth $1.9m over three years
- 37 Discovery Launch Supplements for early career researchers worth $0.5m for one year
- 3 Northern Research Supplements worth $0.2m over five years
