Agreement Value:
$4,559,657.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 1, 2020 - Dec 31, 2020
Description:
The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) is a 3.6 meter optical/infrared telescope, located atop the summit of Mauna kea, a 4200 meter, dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. The CFHT is designed to collect optical and infrared electromagnetic radiation. The CFHT Observatory, consisting of the telescope and its facilities, is jointly funded and operated by Canada, France and the State of Hawaii.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:

Canada plays a prominent role in international scientific endeavours. Scientific benefit of telescopes to the Canadian and the global community is maximized through progressive science programs using leading-edge instrumentation. Canadian industry has increased opportunities to participate in advanced scientific projects and increased opportunities to benefit from contracts
and technology development. New technology is transferred to industry. Canadian astronomers have access to leading-edge facilities and technology. Qualified students and post-doctoral researchers have access to facilities to advance their training.
New technologies are developed as part of the elaboration of concepts phase for new telescopes and instruments. Timely publication of results is facilitated by efficient management of telescope time and by timely availability of telescope data. Telescope data is effectively managed to help create and disseminate new knowledge.

Program:
International Astronomical Observatories Program
Program Purpose:

Participation in international collaborations permits Canada to share costs with other international organizations and ensures telescopes will be located in optimal viewing sites. As a result, Canadian researchers have access to world class observatories and participate in collaborative research on international teams. At the same time, Canada profits from opportunities that might not otherwise be available for Canadian researchers and firms to develop instrumentation for large scale international projects.
