No explanation or comments given.
Very ambitious, world-changing level program of research.
“CIFAR is looking for novel ideas to form the basis of new CIFAR programs that address complex, fundamental research challenges of importance to the world. These ideas must require sustained, deep collaboration within an international, truly interdisciplinary research network. The ideas should be ambitious enough to sustain the active engagement of outstanding investigators for at least five years and should also have a longer-term vision.”
