3 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 $6.7 billion in support of 9,415 projects at 147 research institutions in 71 municipalities across Canada (as of October 2016). For more information about the CFI, please visit 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 (PPRs). 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 2016 PPR sample, see the Appendix. Canada Foundation for Innovation Fondation canadienne pour l innovation
