Thanks for asking that question. That's always a big question.
I'm pleased to say that what we found from our members and other people in other science and technology disciplines who get funding from NSERC is that on the whole, people are quite happy with the overall process. When the government gives a large chunk of money called “discovery money”, it's used very wisely by the NSERC organization. The general consensus is the process is quite good for NSERC. Of course, for health funding and social sciences funding there are different organizations that run under different models, but we're quite happy with NSERC. The real challenge is just the number of dollars, but the overall process has been great.
