Research Funding
The Atlantic Innovation Fund was launched in 2001 to provide an additional $300 million for investment in the region's infrastructure.

The higher education sector in Nova Scotia represents 60% of the R&D conducted in the province, a contribution which is twice the national average.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
