CBC Manitoba: Manitoba tops up research funding following pleas from scientists
June 12, 2025 —
Dylan MacKay, a University of Manitoba nutrition researcher who was among the signatories of the April letter, said he was pleasantly surprised the provincial government listened to him and his peers, Dr. Robert Beattie, Dr. Lauren Kelly and Dr. Aleeza Gerstein.
More funding for Research Manitoba will translate directly into more actual research and make the province more competitive, both nationally and internationally, MacKay said.
Provincial funding for Research Manitoba bottomed out at $12 million in 2023, according to the agency’s most recent annual report.
