Canada is home to highly trained and creative health researchers, and the Government of Canada is proud to support their important work.
Today, while touring the research facilities at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the Honourable Seamus O'Regan, Minister of Indigenous Services, on behalf of the Honourable Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Minister of Health, highlighted a recent federal investment in health research.
The $3.7M awarded to Memorial University researchers is part of a $275 million national investment to support Canadian researchers studying the full spectrum of health issues affecting the lives of Canadians. This investment in health research supports our economy and creates high-quality middle-class jobs. Every $100 million invested in health research represents 1,800 jobs for researchers and trainees.
