The Canada Research Chairs Program

(CRCP) is a $900-million federal initiative to help Canada stay at the forefront of the global knowledge-based economy, and to help universities attract and retain the best researchers in the natural sciences and engineering, health sciences, and social sciences and humanities. Over the next five years, there will be 2000 research chairs in universities across Canada. Information on the chairs program is available at http://www.chairs.gic.ca.
