1 2017 REPORT ON RESULTS An annual summary of project outputs and outcomes
2 ABOUT THE CANADA FOUNDATION FOR INNOVATION Created by the Government of Canada in 1997, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) strives to build our nation s capacity to undertake world-class research and technology development to benefit Canadians. The CFI s expected results are to enhance the capacity of institutions to: attract and retain the world s top research talent; train the next generation of researchers; enable researchers to undertake world-class research and technology development that lead to social, economic and environmental benefits for Canada; and support private-sector innovation and commercialization. Since its creation, the CFI has committed more than $7.7 billion in support of 10,081 projects at 148 research institutions in 71 municipalities across Canada (as of October 2017). For more information about the CFI, please visit Innovation.ca. THE REPORT ON RESULTS The purpose of the report on results is to provide a summary of the outputs and outcomes achieved through CFI-funded infrastructure as they relate to the overall objectives of the CFI, based on information provided through annual project progress reports (PPR). The PPR is an online questionnaire which is completed by the project leader and submitted by the host institution. Institutions are required to submit a PPR for each funded project by June 30 each year, for up to five years after the infrastructure becomes operational. The data collected pertains only to the past year (CFI fiscal year April 1 to March 31). Data is self-reported, and not independently verified. For information on the composition of the 2017 PPR sample, see the Appendix. Page 2

4 RESEARCHER ATTRACTION Among the 188 newly recruited project leaders, 97% indicated that CFI-funded infrastructure positively influenced their decision to join their institution. Nearly 60% of new recruits (of Canadian or non-canadian citizenship) were in foreign countries at the time of their hiring, suggesting that CFI-funded infrastructure contributed to attracting international talent and internationally trained Canadian talent. New recruits that were already in Canada (41%) came from all sectors but were predominantly from academia.
