I’d like to remind you to take the time to fill out NSERC survey about the findings of the CCA report on funding science research. This report, and the feedback NSERC receives about it, will have an important influence on the reallocation of funds within the Discovery Grant program, and in the allocation of any future funding increases.

The survey is at: www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/Reports-Rapports/Assessment-Assessment_eng.asp

It took me about 45 minutes to complete. It is a horrible survey, and both the questions and the way they are worded are complicated. You should read at least the executive summary of the CCA report (on the CCA website) and the document outlining the CAP’s response (which CAP members received by email recently). But it’s important!
