New Faculty Awards

Provides start-up support - primarily operating funds - to independent investigators who are in their first academic career appointment at an Alberta University or College.

The Ingenuity New Faculty Award program expands and strengthens Alberta's science and engineering research capacity. Tomorrow's academic leaders, these scientists will train the highly qualified scientific personnel the province needs. Providing adequate seed funding for their first laboratories not only provides them with a meaningful head start, but also promises early meaningful results.

The grant is for up to $100,000 per year for three years and may be used to cover costs associated with the establishment of a new research laboratory and program.
