The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) program provides universities the opportunity to recruit world-class scholars across all research disciplines. Chairholders aim to achieve research excellence in engineering and the natural sciences, health sciences, humanities, and social sciences, improving our depth of knowledge and quality of life, strengthening international competitiveness, and training the next generation of highly skilled people. A Tier 2 candidate should show potential to grow into a leader in their research field and be in the top 10% of their field among candidates at similar career stage. A Tier 1 candidate should be an internationally recognized leader in their field and in the university as a whole.
