BUILDING CAPACITY Increase since 00/01 CRC $60-$300 CFI $183-$427 ICR** $0-$285 TOTAL $243-$1,012= $769 FUELLING CAPACITY NSERC ~$600-$862=***$262 ** Little if any goes to researchers *** Only 45% for Discovery grants R & D IN CANADA

LOBBYING CAN WE FIND ALLIES TO HELP INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE NSERC PIE? OTHER SCIENCE DEPT HEAD ORGANISATIONS? INDUSTRY? CAN WE INCREASE THE EARTH SCIENCE SLICE OF THE NSERC PIE? PROMOTION HIGHLIGHTING OUR SCIENCE RESEARCH STARS, RELEVANCE TO INDUSTRY, RELEVANCE TO SOCIETY, THE FRONTIERS OF DISCOVERY STRATEGY
