\n Carleton Study of Air Pollution among Diverse Research Projects Funded by NSERC\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

Carleton University has received approximately $8.5 million in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), in the form of Discovery Accelerator Supplements<\/a> (DAS), Discovery Grants<\/a>, Research Tools and Instruments<\/a> (RTI) Grants and Northern Research Supplement Grants<\/a> (NRS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe researchers at Carleton continue to conduct diverse cutting-edge research as they continue to establish themselves as leaders in their respective fields,\u201d said Rafik Goubran, vice-president (Research and International). \u201cNSERC\u2019s generous funding enables Carleton researchers to pursue work that will have a significant impact on Canadian society and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Johnson, professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received a DAS to study air pollution emissions in the upstream oil and gas sector. The DAS program provides substantial and timely additional resources to accelerate progress and maximize the impact of superior research programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m honoured to be winning a Discovery Accelerator Supplement for a second time and excited for the research opportunities it will unlock,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThe impact of this type of flexible, unencumbered support on a research program cannot be overstated.  With DAS funding my team has had the freedom to seize new research opportunities as they emerge, leverage new results in real-time, and work at the speed of innovation. My team is extremely grateful for this vital NSERC support for discovery and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, two Carleton researchers received NRS Grants from NSERC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
