  Results of Collaborative and Thematic Resources Support in Mathematics
  and Statistics Program Competition

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada is 
pleased to announce the results of its first Collaborative and Thematic 
Resources Support in Mathematics and Statistics (CTRMS) Program 
competition. The three recipients are:

  * *the Centre de recherches mathématiques
    <http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/> (CRM), based at the Université de
    Montréal ($1.15 million annually for five years);
  * *the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences
    <http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/> based at the University of Toronto
    ($1.2 million annually for five years); and
  * *the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
    <http://www.pims.math.ca/>(PIMS), a collaboration of nine major
    universities in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and
    Washington State ($1.15 million annually for five years).

Together, the three institutes will provide support from their CTRMS 
awards of $405,000 per year to the newly formed Canadian Statistical 
Sciences Institute <http://www.ssc.ca/en/canssi> and will also continue 
to provide support for the Atlantic Association for Research in the 
Mathematical Sciences through their CTRMS awards.

In addition, NSERC has provided the three institutes above -- CRM, 
Fields, and PIMS -- with $1.5 million over three years to set up an 
Institute Innovation Platform that will foster partnerships between 
mathematics and statistics researchers and non-academic partners in the 
public and private sectors.
