Canada Research Chairs

The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) is a program of the Federal Government of Canada with the goal to recruit and retain the world’s best researchers in Canada.

Tier 1 CRCs, tenable for seven years and renewable, are for outstanding researchers acknowledged by their peers as world leaders in their fields. For each Tier 1 Chair, the university receives $200,000 annually for seven years.

Tier 2 Chairs, tenable for five years and renewable once, are for exceptional emerging researchers, acknowledged by their peers as having the potential to lead in their field. For each Tier 2 Chair, the university receives $100,000 annually for five years.

The list of current FoMD CRCS is provided below. Additional information can be found on the University of Alberta Research Services Office website.
