Debora Lopreite and Joan Murphy summarize the role, structure and evolution of the Canada Foundation for Innovation as a patron, handing out grants, and as a regulator, setting out rules for researchers.
THE CANADA FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION: AN INITIATIVE TO FOLLOW
Canada Foundation for Innovation C$ 1.0 billion 1996-97 to 2002-03
Canada: The Canada Foundation for Innovation has gained $480 million in additional funding from the Canadian government, bringing its total to $2.01 billion for spending on grants for infrastructure research projects through 2010.
A proposal for funding went to the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) in October but was turned down.
Queen's officially opened the RMTL in September, acknowledging a $7 million grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, a matching $7 million from the Ontario government and additional support from the university and High Voltage Engineering Europa, the Dutch-based manufacturer of the linear accelerator.
Construction of the underground facility was made possible by funding from Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp., Ontario Research Fund (ORF), Vale and FedNor.
It is hard to imagine a budget speech announcing the creation of a national system of innovation rather than incremental, important, and necessary but insufficient building blocks, such as a program to fund university-based Networks of Centres of Excellence or the Canada Foundation for Innovation. Furthermore, a dozen years ago when the innovation system concept was first actively debated, it was largely a theoretical construct because the technology required to make the rapid and intense interaction and cooperation real was still underdeveloped, namely the internet.
Furthermore, I wish to make the point that the NSERC system is not sustainable in light of changing demographics in the scientific community, ongoing budgetary constraints and new funding for Canadian science, such as the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and Canada Research Chair (CRC) programs.
