University of Toronto Connaught Fund

About University of Toronto Connaught Fund

University of Toronto's Connaught Fund has become a unique and critical funding resource for researchers and scholars across the disciplines. The fund has become even stronger with the launch of a series of new programs in 2010 which target unmet societal needs and cultivate collaborations with transformative impact. The purpose of these programs is to: promote excellence in research and innovation; enhance recruitment and retention of emerging and established scholars; address unmet needs without duplicating existing funding opportunities; expose diverse communities to distinguished international scholars; accelerate the development of promising technology, promote commercialization and knowledge transfer; span disciplinary boundaries to achieve comprehensive and transformative impact; and raise the profile of the U of T and the Connaught Fund.
