We’re excited to announce a major investment in Manitoba’s research future! 🚀
Research Manitoba is awarding almost $1.2 million through the New Investigator Operating Grant (NIOG) program to empower 15 new researchers as they launch their independent research programs in 2026.
This year’s recipients are tackling big questions in chemistry, global health, water quality, teacher education, deep learning, reconciliation, mental health, and more. By providing up to two years of operating funding, NIOG helps new faculty build their research teams, spark collaborations, and generate the results needed to compete for national grants.
We’re proud to support the next generation of research leaders as they drive discovery and innovation in Manitoba. Learn more: https://researchmanitoba.ca/news/news-releases/
