14 R&D Funding in Canada Total R&D expenditures in Canada totaled around $30 billion in 2013 and have not grown since 2008 probably as a result of the economic downturn; Six sources are responsible for R&D investment in Canada: the federal government, provincial governments, businesses, universities, not-for-profit organizations and foreign entities. With the exception of foreign entities, each sector plays a role both as a funder and as a performer of research activities in Canada; The largest source of funding stems from businesses. In 2013, Canadian industry invested an estimated $14.4 billion in R&D or 47% of total R&D expenditure. Of these funds, 6.6% ($958 M) was directed to research performed by universities; 14

23 The Health Research and Commercialization Landscape is Evolving Research and development, clinical evaluation, and healthcare delivery costs continue to rise Regulatory and reimbursement environments are becoming increasingly challenging Governments have increased investment in health research, but they are not satisfied with the returns (thereby jeopardizing future investment) There remains a gap between academic health-related discovery and the development of new medicines and other technologies Venture capital investments continue to decline leaving little financing available to develop new technologies, particularly new therapeutics 23

24 CDRD/CVI s Mandate CDRD/CVI was specifically created to de-risk promising discoveries stemming from publicly-funded academic health research, and transform them into commercially viable opportunities for the private sector. The Private Sector is then responsible (and much better positioned) to develop them into new treatments for patients And Government realizes the maximum economic and societal ROI.and re-invests back into research CDRD: national not-for-profit drug development and commercialization centre Provides specialized expertise and infrastructure Conducts critical proof-of-concept studies CVI: Commercialization vehicle Together bridge the commercialization gap between academia and industry..and ultimately, patients 24
