The University of Toronto has recognized 53 faculty members — including 19 from Arts & Science — across the three campuses with the Connaught New Researcher Award.

Designed to help winners establish a strong research program and increase their competitiveness for external funding, the award is supported by the Connaught Fund and is part of U of T’s commitment to fostering excellence in research and innovation by supporting faculty members who are in the early stages of their academic careers.

“These researchers are doing important and innovative work across the humanities, life sciences, physical sciences, engineering and social sciences,” said Professor Leah Cowen, U of T’s associate vice-president, research.
