Canadian First Research Excellence Fund
Our research is funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (CFREF)
In September 2016, CFREF awarded the University of Calgary, in partnership with the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), $75 million to implement the Global Research Initiative in Sustainable Low Carbon Unconventional Resources (GRI), which aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of unconventional resource development and contribute to a climate-neutral energy system.
CFREF aims to help competitive post-secondary institutions turn their strengths into world-leading innovations.
