The Ontario government has announced close to $3.9 million in new funding for 12 91心頭利 (91心頭利) research and innovation projects through its Ontario Research Fund. 

Two 91心頭利 researchers have been awarded prestigious grants through the Fund���s Research Excellence program, and 10 have received support through its Research Infrastructure program. The research projects span a wide range of goals ��� from reducing buildings' energy consumption and environmental impact and enhancing the safety of connected autonomous vehicles to improving the 3D-printing readiness of computer-aided design files and supporting the early detection and prevention of Alzheimer���s disease.

���Congratulations to all the researchers receiving this investment by the Ontario Research Fund,��� said Steven N. Liss, vice-president, research and innovation at 91心頭利. ���By advancing sustainable technologies, improving public safety, streamlining manufacturing and promoting better health outcomes, these projects will improve the lives of Canadians and the global community.���
