3 INTRODUCTION
4 CANADA FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION Created by the Government of Canada in 1997, the Canada Foundation for Innovation has a legislated mandate to build our nation s capacity to undertake world-class research and technology development that benefits Canadians. The CFI fulfills this mandate by investing in the research infrastructure necessary for Canada s leading researchers to discover, develop and apply new knowledge in all areas of science, the humanities, health, engineering and the environment. 4
5 THE CFI FUNDING MODEL
6 OUR MANDATE Our Funding Agreement with the Government of Canada stipulates that our mandate is to: Enhance the capacity of Ultimate Recipients to: a) attract and retain the world s top research talent; b) enable researchers to undertake world-class research and technology development that lead to social, economic and environmental benefits for Canada; c) support private sector innovation and commercialization; and d) train the next generation of researchers. 6
7 A UNIQUE FUNDING MODEL Provides 40% of infrastructure costs (with remainder provided by provinces, institutions and private sector); Supports all areas of research; Awards based on merit and excellence.
8 THE STRENGTH OF THE CFI The Canada Foundation for Innovation derives its strength from fostering the full breadth of innovation, from basic to applied. Basic is the art of detecting hidden patterns in nature. The applied every bit as challenging is to make the basic work for us. Globe and Mail April 25, 2012 Dr. John C. Polanyi, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry Department of Chemistry University of Toronto

25 FACTORS MOTIVATING SCIENTISTS AND SCIENCE POLICY MAKERS... Implementing projects that exceed the funding capacity of individual countries; Optimizing the global inventory of state-of-the-art scientific facilities while avoiding unnecessary duplication; Accessing a unique geographical location, or other unique local resource; Binging together the best scientists, engineers, technicians, and administrators; Accessing data and other resources that are distributed world-wide; and Providing international experience for young researchers
26 SOME OF THE CHALLENGES Delays and expenses associated with protracted international negotiations; Adoption of sub-optimal technical solutions due to "local" sourcing/contracting requirements; Creation of sub-optimal financial or organizational arrangements due to the diverse reporting and oversight requirements of international partners; Exclusion/isolation of certain national scientific communities whose countries are not part of the collaboration; Creation of new administrative structures that may take time to come up to desired standards of efficiency; and Potential transformation of large international infrastructures into conservative, self-perpetuating entities that may not respond optimally to new scientific needs.
27 BROADER PUBLIC POLICY PERSPECTIVE Opportunities the stimulation and synergy that international networking can bring to the benefit of the research undertaken; the reduced financial burden to individual partners through the sharing of resources; additional cultural input at both the scientific and the personal level; and the capability to provide and share facilities, or information, that would be beyond the reach of participants individually Challenges the loss of national sovereignty and control; the loss of home team advantage ; the added administrative complexity; and the potential difficulties for scientists (and their families) of working abroad
