The Chairs are aligned with the four strategic priority areas of the Alberta Innovates Corporations and Alberta Advanced Education and Technology: Energy and Environment, Food and Nutrition, Neuroscience/Prions and Water. The U of L's three Chairs will work in the areas of: aquatic health, brain health and dementia, and terrestrial ecosystems and remote sensing.<br> <br> "Not only do these areas align with the Government of Alberta's strategic priorities, but they also reflect the core strengths of our institution," says Weeks. "What is so significant about the introduction of these Chairs is that it allows us to continue to grow our research capacity in these strategic areas, thereby allowing us to realign other resources and point them at areas of emerging strength. It's especially important for an institution of our size to maximize the impact of our Chair allotment."<br> <br> The value of the CAIP awards will vary from approximately $300,000 to $650,000 per year for seven years, depending on the nature of the research being undertaken. Academic appointments will be made at the assistant professor, associate professor or full professor level, depending on the seniority of the individual. At the end of the seven years as Chair, appointees will assume regular faculty positions at their institutions. Chairs will be encouraged to collaborate with colleagues and may receive adjunct appointments at their sister institutions.<br> <br> "We're moving ahead with this as quickly as possible," says Weeks. "Search committees have already been established and we'll be moving briskly on appointments."<br> <br> The CAIP program has been set up in a very strategic manner, with all Chairs to be recruited from outside the province, so that there are no internal appointments or recruitments between institutions. As well, the four universities will work together to recruit Chair holders within a priority area who have complementary research areas. They will then be encouraged to work with individuals in similar fields at the other Alberta universities as appropriate, possibly through cross appointments or adjunct appointments.<br> <br> "We pride ourselves on being a key contributor to the Campus Alberta model and its inherent collaborative nature," says Weeks. "These Chairs enhance our ability to bring in outstanding research talent and only add to the research infrastructure across the entire province."<br> <br> <strong><em>This story first appeared in the November issue of the Legend.

even the kernels.</p><p>He envisions matter at the molecular level and sees corn as a source for biodegradable material, such as a plastic drinking cup, rather than just a common vegetable.</p><p>In fact, Hayes looks at many common materials and thinks up ways to improve them at the molecular level by making them more useful, energy efficient and, like biodegradable corn-based drinking cups, more

We can either shorten or extend the biodegradable lifespan of the product based on how we fine-tune the molecular structure of the polylactide.&quot;</p><p>The ability to manipulate these characteristics opens up possibilities for many new and useful materials in the future.</p><p>For example, Hayes explains packaging materials can have readily adjusted biodegradation rates to accommodate the need for various shelf lives of different items, providing an alternative &quot;green&quot; plastic for food packaging.</p><p>Hayes&#39; research also has medical applications like absorbable sutures, matrices for the slow release of pharmaceuticals and polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering.</p><p>Hayes, who has been at the U of L for four years, continues to develop his thriving independent research program, which has produced numerous publications in top-tier journals and received more than $1.4 million in funding from provincial and national agencies, such as the <a href="http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/" rel="nofollow">Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada</a>, <a href="http://www.innovation.ca/en" rel="nofollow">Canada Foundation for Innovation</a>, <a href="http://www.canadaschoolofenergy.com/" rel="nofollow">Canada School of Energy and Environment</a> and <a href="http://www.greencentrecanada.com/" rel="nofollow">GreenCentre Canada</a>.</p><p>As a result of these successes the young researcher has earned province-wide accolades, including the prestigious Alberta Ingenuity New Faculty Award. Most recently, Hayes accepted a Distinguished Academic Early Career Award from the Confederation of Alberta Faculty Associations for his ongoing accomplishments and future research potential.</p><p>It&#39;s a promising future for all Albertans, really, thanks to leading 免费福利资源在线看片 like Hayes, who just happens to be tackling world issues at the molecular level.</p><p><em>For a
