The University of Regina is receiving almost $2 million in federal funding for 15 research projects. The money is coming from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). “This is excellent news for the researchers and for the University. Our success rate has increased from 41 per cent to 67 per cent in the Faculty of Science, a tremendous accomplishment for this group of scholars," says Dr. David Malloy, Vice-President (Research) at the University of Regina. “Of particular note was the success of Ryan McKellar from Biology, Mark Vanderwel from Biology, and Jeff Loucks from Psychology who are in the early stages of their careers as professors – we should be very proud of this national recognition,” Dr. Malloy adds.
