UM has launched a new program to support groundbreaking, high-risk, high-reward research that will help solve complex challenges at home and around the world.
The Ignite Program will provide $350,000 per year over three years to five research projects that will push the boundaries of knowledge through creativity and innovation.
An initiative of the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International), the Ignite Program is a new internal grant program designed to support bold, forward-thinking research to tackle pressing challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration. The program will foster new partnerships by uniting experts from across disciplines with external partners to identify impactful solutions that will improve the lives of Manitobans and beyond.
