In Budget 2007 the CFI was awarded $510M to hold another major competition between now and 2010. As has been the practice of the CFI, we have initiated a process to refresh our programs and procedures to assure that they are in harmony with the most pressing needs of the science community.

Over the next few months we will be undertaking this consultation process to ensure that the new funds will be spent effectively and efficiently, in the best interests of research and research institutions.
