Researchers hail the Canada Foundation for Innovation

Helen Burt, UBC’s interim vice-president, research and international, spoke to University Affairs about the impact of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2017.

“It’s one of the key programs that have driven a huge increase in what I’ll call research intensity at UBC,” she said. “We went from bringing in $137 million in external research funds to, in the last fiscal year, $600 million.”
