It comes back to my earlier answer.
The initial equipment was bought with CFI funding. Then we had the six-year project grant from the Canada Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, which is an organization that no longer exists. Then we had a six-year grant from the climate change and atmospheric research program at NSERC, which was kind of a follow-on from CFCAS, and that program no longer exists. Those were our two primary science funding programs.
Then, as I mentioned, we had some funding from International Polar Year and from the Arctic research infrastructure fund. We've had regular small amounts of money from the Canadian Space Agency that have helped, and some support from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
We've also had funding from NSERC. An NSERC CREATE training program in Arctic atmospheric science funded us for six years, from 2010 to 2016, and that really funded students. We ran six Arctic summer schools as a part of that. That wasn't supporting the lab per se, but it was supporting the students who were doing some of the research at the lab. At the summer schools, we brought in Inuit and other northern representatives to come and talk to the students, and that was very enlightening for them.
Looking forward, we need programs that will cover the operational expenses of working in the Arctic, which is different from working at a university lab down south; that recognize the costs of transport, travel and on-site accommodations; and that can fund the staff that we need. It's that kind of operational funding.
We don't.... We are always looking for programs to apply to, but many of them have different requirements, and it can be hard to meet the criteria. None of them are quite like the CFCAS and the CCAR funding that we had in the past.
