CBC is reporting that Industry Canada has announced funds for 310 Canada Research Chairs. See the story here.
There is no write up on the Industry Canada site, although there is a (not very exciting) media advisory.
The push seems to be in particular areas and with at least some focus on commercial/economic outcomes for the research...
Between this and BC's announcement that 2011 is the Year of Science, looks like the coming year might be science-tastic. (Too bad BC is simultaneously is reducing involvement of independent researchers and increasing Big Pharma's input in the BC drug approvals process... read about it in the Globe and Mail or listen to the CBC Victoria radio interview (MP3)).
