Originally, the CFI had planned to announce the details on the next Innovation Fund competition in the Spring of 2002. Given the significant investment for this most recent competition, the CFI Board of Directors has decided to delay this announcement until the Fall of 2002 at the earliest. This will give time for the implementation of approved projects, for consultation and planning the next round in light of experience gained from the 2001 competition, and for the design of high quality projects.
Ottawa, February 18, 2002…Dr. David W. Strangway, President and CEO of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, today announced the launch of a new Internet-based magazine dedicated to Canadian research. Entitled Innovation Canada, the new e-zine features stories about some of the most cutting-edge research that is taking place in universities and research institutions across the country.
