Research Chairs + Units
CURRENT Canada Research Chair
In 2000, the Government of Canada created a permanent program to establish 2000 research professorships-Canada Research Chairs-in eligible degree-granting institutions across the country.
Each eligible degree-granting institution receives an allocation of Chairs. For each Chair, a university nominates a researcher whose work complements its strategic research plan and who meets the program's high standards.

The overall goal of the Nursing Research Chair in Aging and Quality of Life is to enhance quality of life of older adults through clinical innovative translational research. This will be achieved by developing, advancing and sustaining trans-disciplinary collaborative programs of nationally funded research in aging and quality of life that will inform nursing practice, policy and education and to position the University of Alberta Faculty of Nursing as a national research leader in this area.
