The $126 million over five years received through budget 2010 is in addition to TRIUMF's existing A-base funding, which is $19 million a year. This enables scientists at TRIUMF to undertake many important research initiatives, including life-science-based research initiatives. No other facility in Canada can match the capabilities offered by the TRIUMF facility, the research taking place at the TRIUMF-related foundation for new technologies in physical and life sciences, and the facilities that contribute to advanced materials research in Canada.
