Le CRSNG est fier d’annoncer les résultats du concours du Programme de suppléments d’accélération à la découverte (SAD) de 2011.
Le Programme de SAD vise à fournir en temps opportun d’importantes ressources supplémentaires afin d’accélérer le progrès et de maximiser les retombées de programmes de recherche exceptionnels. En 2011 le CRSNG a accordé 14.76 millions de dollars à 123 chercheurs mis en candidature au concours de SAD. Les suppléments sont d’une valeur totale de 120 000 $ et sont versés sur une période de trois ans.
