SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRY
Canadian Applied Research EcoSystem (since 2000)
• Significant growth in Tri-Council-eligible colleges, polytechnics & institutes – NSERC eligibility
has been the first stepping stone for most/all institutions
• NSERC has championed applied research in the colleges
• “One-hour drive” point-of-view
• Funding has grown over the years, but had plateaued (until FY 18); resulting in fewer competitions
• But still funding-driven limitations & gaps
• “Overlaps” – Research Discipline & Sector Served
• Research Support Fund
• Consultation & cooperation is the norm – many moving parts
• More consistent messaging amongst like-minded organizations (e.g. ACCC/CICan & PC)
• Much capacity has been built
• Faculty participation is still a challenge
• Demand is increasing
• Intellectual Property (thankfully!!) is not an impediment
• Growth has led to national rankings (both good & bad)
• Patience & Persistence Pays
Evolution of Applied Research @ RRC

Post-2012: Comprehensive
Research Partnerships & Innovation: Quick Facts
• CORE Activities
• Contracts, Grant & Intellectual Property Management
• Outreach
• Research & Partnership Development
• Engagement
• Community-relevant focus: more than natural sciences & engineering
• Student & instructor engagement is essential
• Steady growth in research investment: ~$6 million p.a. (all sources, not including research infrastructure)
• Over $80M invested/awarded for research infrastructure
• Six Research Centres, two Technology Access Centres, two Research Chairs & five Research Professionals
• Commercial rights freely granted for economic development benefit
• IP is NOT an impediment!
• INNOVATION IMPACTS ROI™
