One of McGill鈥檚 new Vanier Scholars will be looking into how to use virtual reality for balance and mobility re-education for children with developmental delays. Another is interested in assessing the present and future significance of Canada's Supreme Court. And a third is working on the role that genetics plays in chronic pain.

Fourteen of the 156 new 2012 Vanier Scholars will be attending 香蕉视频, coming from countries as diverse as Australia, Belgium, Peru and the United States, as well as from Canada.

The Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships program is designed to strengthen Canada鈥檚 ability to attract and retain the world鈥檚 top-tier doctoral students. Vanier scholars receive $50,000 annually for up to three years, and each is selected based on demonstrated leadership skills and a high standard of scholarly achievement in the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, engineering or health sciences.

鈥淪ince they were introduced in 2008, the Vanier Scholarships continue to help McGill attract the brightest and most dedicated doctoral students,鈥� said Martin Kreiswirth, Associate Provost (Graduate Education). 鈥淲e are very grateful to the Vanier Scholarship program for the support it offers to the next generation of researchers, and to the research community as a whole.鈥�
