The Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research (BIMR) - named in honour of McMaster Professor and 1994 Nobel laureate Bertram Brockhouse - supports interdisciplinary materials-based research.   The Institute  was one of the first materials research centers in North America and is the largest such institute in Canada. Next year it will celebrate its 40th anniversary. The Institute has a membership of over 120 including 17 Canada Research Chairs. These researchers within the institute are recognized as leaders in electron microscopy, crystal growth, polymer synthesis, processing and characterization, X-ray characterization, and materials discovery and refinement.  In March 2004, the Brockhouse Institute was selected to host the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy: a CFI funded initiative.  In the spring of 2007, the most advanced analytical microscopes in the world will be available to Canadian researchers through CCEM and the Brockhouse Institute. This proposal will ensure complete access to all of the capabilities of the Brockhouse Institute for researchers from academia, government and industry.  It will encourage highly innovative, interdisciplinary research and stimulate innovation.  Finally, it will enable a new generation of Canadian researchers to be trained at the most advanced level.The vision behind the Brockhouse Institute is that the very best research is always driven by the ideas and imagination of the researchers.  The objective of this Institute is to develop versatile tools at the highest level and provide the infrastructure, access and expertise that researchers require to take full advantage of them.

布罗克豪斯材料研究所(BIMR)-以麦克马斯特教授和1994年诺贝尔奖获得者伯特伦·布罗克豪斯的名字命名-支持基于材料的跨学科研究。该研究所是北美最早的材料研究中心之一，也是加拿大最大的此类研究所。明年，它将庆祝成立40周年。该研究所有120多名成员，其中包括17个加拿大研究教席。该研究所内的这些研究人员被公认为是电子显微镜、晶体生长、聚合物合成、加工和表征、X射线表征以及材料发现和改进方面的领导者。2004年3月，布罗克豪斯研究所被选为加拿大电子显微镜中心的东道主：这是由CFI资助的倡议。2007年春天，加拿大研究人员将通过CCEM和布罗克豪斯研究所获得世界上最先进的分析显微镜。这项建议将确保来自学术界、政府和工业界的研究人员完全可以使用布罗克豪斯研究所的所有能力。它将鼓励高度创新的跨学科研究，并刺激创新。最后，它将使新一代加拿大研究人员能够在最先进的水平上接受培训。布罗克豪斯研究所背后的愿景是，最好的研究总是由研究人员的想法和想象力驱动。该研究所的目标是开发最高水平的多功能工具，并提供研究人员充分利用这些工具所需的基础设施、通道和专业知识。
