The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) will provide a total of $2.8 million over 5 years to 17 UQAM researchers through its Discovery Research Program. This program supports researchers who venture into uncharted territory to find solutions to problems. The announcement of this grant was made last June.
Here is the list of professors who receive funding:
