The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) has announced an investment of more than $500 million through its Discovery research programs, which will help generate world-firsts in knowledge, train the next generation of scientists and expand the frontiers of science and engineering. Overall, a total of 160 projects led by UBC researchers were awarded more than $32 million.
