Federal Budget: More Support
For University Research
The federal budget presented by Finance Minister John
Manley signals that the recognition of the importance of
investing in universities for the future of Canada continues
to grow, says University of Windsor President Ross Paul.

of a $125-million-per-year increase in funding for Canada's
three federal granting councils, and $225 million per year
to help fund the indirect costs associated with federally
sponsored research.The University of Windsor's share was
$2.3 million. The $225 million Canada-wide in yesterday's
budget is an increase and will be continued for at least
three years.

the combination of APA and CPA accreditation raises the profile
