Additional Researchers
Many additional researchers are involved in enabling the success of INSPIRE. Pages will be updated to reflect this.
Applications for INSPIRE funding involve two co-supervisors, one of which should be based at the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Regina or the Canadian Light Source.
