that drive job creation and opportunities in the knowledge economy,\u201d said Goodyear. \u201cThrough Economic Action Plan 2012, our government provided additional resources to support advanced research at universities and other leading research institutions, which will build on previous investments to further strengthen Canada\u2019s research advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis research is the key to innovation and to building knowledge for Canada\u2019s future,\u201d said Chad Gaffield, president of SSHRC. \u201cThrough this funding support, we are generating insights and developing
