I'll address this.
We took a chance here in the Alzheimer Society. CIHR, which is obviously the main funding body in the country, has a certain format and style of how you have to apply and how it's discussed and all the rest of it. Now, driven by necessity, when I was looking to get people on to our panels, most of the people I wanted were already on CIHR panels, so I had to make our process more attractive and make it easier for them to do.
We have actually--our society alone--hugely cut down some of this process. I would say we've cut it down to a quarter or a fifth of what CIHR, which is a traditional national body in most countries, demands, and we get away with it. There are no CIHR people here right now, but I feel like saying to them, why do you give your reviewers such a tough time—the reviewers I'm talking about now—and the applicants when it isn't necessary? I personally don't believe it's necessary, and our program runs efficiently and well without having this lengthy, tedious need that CIHR imposes.
We had three people successively who were on our panels from the States, and they all said how marvellous they thought our Alzheimer Society program was in this regard. So it can be done. We do it, but I think CIHR does not.
