Federal funding for Nova Scotia universities announced today by Justice Minister Peter MacKay on behalf of Science and Technology Minister Ed Holder under the federal Research Support Fund.

The fund covers overhead and additional research costs associated with “managing the research funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), such as salaries for staff who provide administrative support, training costs for workplace health and safety, maintenance of libraries and laboratories; and administrative costs associated with obtaining patents for inventions.”
