    Endowed Research Chairs

    Supporting growth in dedicated research fields.

In order to create real change, we need catalysts and experts who are dedicated to accelerating life-changing health care advancements. 

Why:
Today’s discoveries, tomorrow’s cures
Endowed chairs are financially fueled by a generous community of donors who support QEII Foundation endowment funds. These endowment funds are invested permanently, where only the interest from the investment is used to fund the long-term research position in perpetuity.
