Six projects based at UBC Applied Science have together received nearly $1.5 million in support through the Canada Foundation for Innovation's John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF).

The fund aims to "[help] universities attract and retain top research talent from around the world by providing researchers with the highly specialized infrastructure they need to be leaders in their field."

Through the JELF, the Government of Canada is providing $96 million in funding to support 377 new research infrastructure projects at 55 universities across Canada, including $10.61 million for 41 projects at UBC.
