Description
The Canada Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) is launching a national consultation to reinvigorate Canada’s support for science and to position Canada as a global leader in research excellence. The vision for the future of Canada's research landscape is a bold, world-leading and highly coordinated system of federal support for science—a system that contributes to the social and economic well-being of Canadians. This is an opportunity for Canadians, the research community and the next generation of scientists, scholars and students to help shape research in Canada.
The CRCC invites individual feedback on three key priorities outlined below:
1) A new Tri-Agency Research Fund
2) Strengthening equity, diversity, and inclusion in research
3) Support for early career researchers
Please complete the questionnaires to submit your feedback. Further background information and proposed changes can be found with the questionnaires.
Special Notes
About CRCC
The Canada Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) plays an important role in reinvigorating Canada's support for science to meet the current and future needs of the country's scientists, scholars and students.
The committee was created to improve the coordination efforts of Canada's granting agencies—the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)—as well as the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI).
Mandate
The CRCC is mandated to achieve greater harmonization, integration and coordination of research-related programs and policies and to address issues of common concern to the granting agencies and the CFI.
CRCC members work together to strengthen Canada's ability to grow in the rapidly evolving global research landscape while focusing on key priority areas such as strengthening equity and diversity in research; increasing the capacity of Indigenous communities to conduct research and partner with the broader research community, and improving support for the next generation of scientists and scholars.
Work plan
The CRCC has developed a work plan that addresses the priorities laid out in the open letter to its members.
Through its work plan, the CRCC commits to engaging with the research community in the development of new programming and initiatives in each priority area.
Deadlines
If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
