McMaster's Strategic Research Plan Funding Opportunities and Researcher Expertise: Community of Science Databases
The Canada Research Chairs Program was launched by the federal government in 2000 to help Canadian universities attract and retain the world’s best researchers. McMaster University has been allocated 69 Canada Research Chairs, the third highest number of Chairs allocated in the province of Ontario and the ninth highest in Canada. Our University currently boasts 62 Canada Research Chairholders.
