Abstract
In February this year, the federal budget provided significant reinvestments in fundamental research and research infrastructure totaling more than $3 billion. This included $763 million over five years starting in 2018-19 for the Canada Foundation for Innovation, with “permanent funding at an ongoing level of $462 million per year by 2023-24.” The CFI has worked closely with senior officials at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and we are working towards finalizing an agreement for our Budget 2018 allocations this fall. For this session the CFI will provide an update on its activities and programming in light of these allocations and the status of our agreement with the Federal government. We look forward to addressing your questions and hearing your feedback during this session.
