The SBIR program is run by the National Institutes of Health, which is the equivalent of the CIHR. The SBIR program is a peer-reviewed program. That means our scientific peers help in the evaluation of the technology, the business plan, and all the rest of it. The evaluation officers who administer the program are also skilled in the particular areas.
In Canada, IRAP is not run through a peer-reviewed research program. The people who run the program are not skilled in the art of evaluating the technology. I think we have a very major difference between those two programs.
