On that point, I'm trying to think of ways, concrete recommendations from this committee, to look at restructuring federal research funding allocations that could benefit nimble institutions like yours that are working on real-life problems.
One of the ways that we've kind of heard tangentially from other institutions is to make different types of institutions eligible. I'm wondering if it's a broader principle. If there's a certain type of research that the federal government wants to fund, it should be less dependent on the institution that's conducting it and more dependent on whether the institution has the capacity to deliver on a certain number of criteria—for example, public access to research, knowledge translation, certain types of IP ownership policies.
Do you think that's a way of, perhaps, rethinking or reframing how federal research funding could be allocated?
