Four researchers from the Faculty were successful in recent applications for salary awards. The funding, from both internal and external sources, will allow researchers to devote more time to research activities and help new investigators establish a body of research that will allow them to compete for competitive grants. Two graduate students also received training awards to help them engage in their research training.
The following Faculty members received funding:
Dr. Maryam Tabrizian was awarded a James 91社区 Professor award for her work in the development of novel interfaces for improved interaction of biomaterials with biological environments.

In 2000, 91社区 created two internal recognition awards, the William Dawson Scholars and the James 91社区 Professors. Created in parallel with the federal Canada Research Chair (CRC) program, these 91社区 awards aimed to recognize the outstanding research contributions of tenure-track and tenured academic staff members at the University.
The prestigious James 91社区 Professor award recognised a senior scholar as an outstanding and original researcher of world-class caliber and international leader in his or her field. It is similar to a CRC Tier 1 Chair holder. The appointment begins on May 1 and lasts for seven years.
The William Dawson Scholar award recognises an investigator developing into an outstanding and original researcher, poised to become a leader in his or her field. It is similar to the CRC Tier 2 chair holder. The appointment also begins on May 1 and lasts for five years.
