Research Excellence Magazine

Health research in Canada has an illustrious and internationally acclaimed track record.

Why should we care?
Each one of us depends on health care that keeps us and our loved ones well, and saves or prolongs our and our loved ones’ lives. This care, on which we rely, does not spontaneously emerge. It comes from research. Today’s treatments are yesterday’s discoveries.

We cannot afford not to care.
Our health research enterprise is inventing the future of the health care on which we, our children and subsequent generations can rely. It works. Rates of illness and death caused by disease have dramatically dropped over the last 20 years. We’re living longer, and better. That’s because we’re discovering the root causes of disease, enabling the creation of better treatments and technologies.

Call for FedDev Proposals: Industry Outreach Events

To raise awareness among small and medium-sized Ontario businesses about an opportunity to gain competitive advantage through joint pre-commercialization projects with Centennial, the Applied Research and Innovation Centre (ARIC) hosted two industry outreach events on February 24 and March 3, 2011. These workshops were information sessions on the Applied Research and Commercialization Initiative sponsored by FedDev Ontario. Centennial had received $525K to fund ten partnership projects through FedDev.
