Ocean Frontier Institute: Consultation on Phase 2 research funding

Posted by Ocean Frontier Institute on December 11, 2018 in General Announcements

OFI was established in September 2016 thanks to an investment of $227 million from the Government of Canada and various private and public-sector organizations. A significant portion of this funding was used to support 16 large research projects which are expected to be complete by 2022. A second phase of large research projects will launch in 2019, reflecting input gathered through consultation on the funding call's design. Don't miss your chance to weigh in; register now for a consultation workshop:
