Canada Commits C$880 Million to Health and Research Initiatives

On 22 October, the Government of Canada announced C$880 million to advance research and support the next generation of researchers. More than C$400 million of the funding is allocated through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Project Grant programme to support 439 health-research projects; this is research funding, not a separately priced medical-tourism contract. Hospitals, research centres and health technology providers can explore research-data management, operational analytics and secure computing systems. HPC can support suitable healthcare research workloads and data analysis; contact HPC for a quotation based on the specific project requirements.
