A major Douglas-led project has been awarded a Brain Canada grant. The Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank, an essential platform for brain research in Canada will receive $2,028,000 in new funds under the Canada Brain Research Fund, half being provided by the Government of Canada and half provided by private donors, research institutions, provincial funding agencies, and charitable organizations partnering with the Brain Canada Foundation.
