Banting-CANSSI Ontario Discovery Award in Data Science for University of Toronto Researchers

The Banting Research Foundation and CANSSI Ontario have partnered to offer a Banting-CANSSI Ontario Discovery Award in Data Science for new investigators appointed at the University of Toronto or its affiliated research institutes. These new investigator awards are a one-year grant of up to $25,000 and are intended to support statistical or computational research related to a health or biomedical problem.

Discovery Awards from The Banting Research Foundation support young Canadian researchers who demonstrate excellence and creativity in health and biomedical science. In keeping with the mission of CANSSI Ontario, applicants to the Banting-CANSSI Ontario Discovery Awards in Data Science should be proposing new, innovative statistical or computational methodology, or proposing to implement existing methods in novel ways, to address a health or biomedical research question.

Applications will be adjudicated on the basis of scientific excellence and innovation by The Banting Research Foundation Grant Review panel.
