McGuinty Government Promoting Research Breakthroughs

Ontario is helping researchers in the Toronto area find solutions to global challenges with the potential for future job creation.

Through the Early Researcher Awards program, the McGuinty government is helping 28 recently appointed GTA-based researchers make new discoveries while helping to build their research teams, which will create additional jobs for graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research assistants.

Ontario's investments in world-leading research include support for:

  • Dr. Aimy Bazylak at the University of Toronto, who is designing next-generation materials for fuel cells, and
  • Dr. Jason Fish of the University Health Network, who is looking for new ways to prevent and treat heart disease.

Supporting world-class research is part of the McGuinty government's plan to create a vibrant economy.  A strong economy creates jobs for Ontarians and protects the services that matter most to Ontario families – health care and education.
