Wow! more funding cuts for science in Canada, this one is the elimination of the NSERC Major Resources Support (MRS) Grants! and that means the funding of Canadian Neutron Beam Centre is cut by %30!!! http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/cnbc/about/funding.html .... this is the link to NSERC announcment:  http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Professors-Professeurs/RTII-OIRI/MRSMemoToApps-ARMMemoCandidats_eng.asp

For those who were/are not familiar with MRS grants, their objective is: "The objective of the MRS program is to facilitate the effective access by Canadian academic researchers to major and unique national or international (based in Canada) experimental or thematic research resources by financially assisting these resources to remain in a state of readiness for researchers to use." from the link above: http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Professors-Professeurs/RTII-OIRI/MRS-ARM_eng.asp
