Canada launches Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System

The Government of Canada has launched the Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System, which will provide independent policy advice to inform how the government and federal research granting agencies support research and talent. The panel will provide advice on structure, governance, and management, and will focus on the relationships between NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR, and CFI. The advisory panel aims to position Canadian researchers for success in their research both now and in the future. “Canadian researchers transform curiosity into bold new ideas that can significantly enhance Canadians’ lives and well-being,” said Federal Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne. “With this advisory panel, our government will ensure our support for their research is just as cutting-edge as Canada’s science and research community.” Newswire Note: Archived stories may contain dead links or be missing source links.
