From idea to lab, from discovery to application, Canada’s science and research sector is an interconnected network of researchers, businesses, academic institutions and non-profits across the country that all contribute to delivering the solutions that improve Canadians’ lives every day.

Independent, non-profit science and research organizations are an important part of this landscape, filling gaps in research areas that are a priority to Canadians. That is why today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, announced support for 24 third-party science and research organizations under the new Strategic Science Fund (SSF).
