¹ Programs involving two or more of the federal granting agencies (NSERC, Canadian Institutes of Health Research [CIHR], Canada Foundation for Innovation [CFI], Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council [SSHRC]).

² The $40M decrease in planned financial resources between 2010-11 and 2012-13 is an outcome of the 2008 Strategic Review, temporary funding from Budget 2009 (Canada's Economic Action Plan) which increased NSERC's budget between 2009-10 and 2011-12, and targeted funding scheduled to end in 2012-13. See the Expenditure Profile section of this report for further detail on NSERC's budget increases and decreases over this timeframe.

⁵ While outcomes of the activities supported can affect several of the Government of Canada outcomes such as strong economic growth, income security and employment for Canadians, a clean and healthy environment, healthy Canadians with access to quality health care, and safe and secure communities; “Innovative and Knowledge-based Economy” is most appropriate to link NSERC's resources and results.

⁷ Internal Services include activities and resources that apply across NSERC. These do not include activities and resources provided for specific programs.

⁸ Recent analyses and strategies the Federal S&T Strategy [2007], the Science and Technology Innovation Council [STIC] State of the Nation Report [2008], the Council of Canadian Academies [CCA] Innovation and Business Strategy:  Why Canada Falls Short [2009] indicate that Canada needs to better leverage its R&D and accelerate innovation and that public-private R&D partners will help achieve this goal.

¹⁰ NSERC, among the largest federal funders of public-private R&D partnerships, has launched a new Strategy for Partnerships and Innovation to enhance the quality and quantity of industry-academic research partnerships and accelerate innovation so that Canada realizes more value from the government's investment in post-secondary R&D capabilities.

¹¹ As outlined in Schedule 2 of the agencies' Memorandum of Understanding on the Roles and Responsibilities in the Management of Federal Grants and Awards (MOU)

¹² See the Summative Evaluation of the Interagency Advisory Panel and Secretariat on Research Ethics and the accompanying Management Response for details of the review and improvements identified by management.

¹³ The authorities for the operating budget in the Main Estimates increased in 2010-11 in the amounts of $1.4M and $0.7M as a result of a new compensation agreement and Budget 2008, respectively. They also decreased by $1.0M in 2010-11 as a result of the 2008 Strategic Review. The net result is an increase of $1.12M.
