Thanks for the question.
I think you've put your finger on exactly the kind of approach we're trying to encourage when we think about an opportunity to reimagine the research agenda here in Canada. How do we think about all of the different strengths that different players in the ecosystem can bring? How do we intentionally connect them by identifying the impact and outcomes we want through the research? How do we then design the program to get there?
This is why we feel mission-driven research and a mission-driven agenda are ways to do that. If you identify the challenge, things become more clear in terms of how you develop a set of tools and a mission portfolio that can incentivize colleges and universities to come to the table to play to their different strengths and bring the impact down to the end-users at the forefront.
