The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program used its 10th anniversary celebrations to announce an investment of $275.6 million in 310 new and renewed chairs at 53 Canadian universities. The investment includes $13.4 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for research infrastructure associated with the new and renewed awards.
