In October 2022 the Canadian government launched the Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System to provide independent, expert advice on the structure and governance of the federal system supporting research and talent. On March 20 the „Report of the Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System“ was published. It contains an overview on the structure and governance of the federal research support system and recommendations on how to better support Canada’s research ecosystem.
The report is intended to provide the government with a suite of bold, yet feasible, measures that for the Canadian research ecosystem. The panel's recommendations aim to enhance the research excellence while enabling greater agility, flexibility and responsiveness to support transformative research and innovation.
