There is obviously wonderful research going on at these smaller, mid-sized universities. You mentioned wildfire research. I assume you're referring to Mike Flannigan at Thompson Rivers.
What does that trend look like when it comes to research output, not the dollars spent? I can see why it makes sense to concentrate infrastructure in bigger universities, but you can still do important research without.... Maybe $41 is a bit low, but you can do important research at these places.
I'm just wondering what the trend looks like when you look at research output.
