Finding Canadian Expertise...
• NSERC Awards Search Engine: contains the results of NSERC competitions and information on its funding since 1991. This allows foreign researchers to identify Canadian researchers that received NSERC funds in specific fields of research (www.nserc.gc.ca/programs/result/database.htm ).
• NSERC Chairholder Database: is designed to connect you with some of Canada’s leading scientists and engineers. Each profile includes a summary of the Chairholders’ activities, relevant key words, partnering organizations and contact information (www.nserc.gc.ca/partners/chairs_e.asp ).
• Canada Research Chairs: this database contains short profiles of each of the Canada Research Chairs to date (access the researchers profiles with drop-down menus; (www.chairs.gc.ca/web/chairholders/index_e.asp ).
24
• 11,500 researchers / 55,000 students in 72 Canadian universities • Over 1,400 companies participated since 1983 annual increase of 100 – over 230 in last 9 months
• Financial risk reductionVarious programs: up to 2:1 cash leverage - In-kind recognized
• SR & EDSubstantial impact on cost reduction
