Awarding of research chairs ‘brain coup’ or brain cramp?

This year’s federal budget provided only a modest increase for Canada’s research granting councils, hardly equal to inflation and certainly not enough to offset the nearly $148 million in cuts announced last year. As a result, labs are being shut, important research projects are being shelved, and some are looking at a future outside of Canada. That context helps explain why many researchers are shaking their heads in disbelief as universities lucky enough to scoop a CERC chair now say they’re on the hook to cover significant new costs associated with the program.
