In our most recent budget, budget 2024, “Fairness For Every Generation”, there is the proposed creation of a capstone research funding organization that would include the granting councils—the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research—within its structure, as well as a proposal for the creation of a new advisory council on science and innovation.
Do you have any recommendations for how the new funding organization and advisory council could be structured to better support research in post-secondary institutions of all sizes?
