Compute Canada receives funding through The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI). Our provincial partners and academic institutions provide the required matching funds for all CFI grants through our regional partners ACENET, Calcul Québec, Compute Ontario and WestGrid. Together, we ensure Canadian researchers and their international and industrial partners have access to a national suite of services and support.

About Major Sciences Initiatives (MSI)

A major science initiative addresses a set of significant leading-edge scientific problems or questions. The scope of these areas of research—ocean and earth sciences, for example—is so significant and complex that it requires unusually large-scale facilities and equipment, substantial human resources, and complex operating and maintenance activities. These projects have a lifecycle extending many years. The funding for MSIs announced today is part of Budget 2010.
