OTTAWA, Ontario, April 21, 2004 — Nineteen Canadian researchers will be awarded up to $25,000 each under Canada Mortgage and Housing's (CMHC's) External Research Program (ERP), Andy Scott, Minister of State (Infrastructure) and Minister responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) announced today.
"The number of applications received for the ERP was the highest in a decade," said Minister Scott. "Canadian researchers continue to put forward and carry out relevant, high quality housing research projects which contribute to solving important problems and issues affecting Canadian housing."
The grants, which this year total $470,000, encourage researchers working in universities, private consulting firms, the housing professions and the housing industry to conduct research on housing issues. CMHC publishes the results when the studies are completed.
ERP grant recipients were selected by an external national committee of housing experts on the basis of merit and the quality of their proposals. The committee included experienced researchers and practitioners in academic institutions, housing related professions, and business.
Results of a wide range of housing research sponsored by CMHC may be obtained by calling 1-800-668-2642.
