This isn't an evasive answer, but as part of our partnership discussions, we would like to discuss a method to see that the money goes to JDRF-identified research priorities. Does that preclude the current methods of funding allocation that are structurally in place at CIHR? If I were to venture a guess, I would say yes, currently. We'd just like to work with you; we want to find a solution to a problem.
We don't think the current CIHR method—and I have said before that I believe this is a structural issue, not a CIHR issue—is particularly suitable for where we want to go as JDRF. We are well past the basic research stage, which means you have to target very carefully who you want to fund, and for how much and how long.
