Description

This report is produced annually by the Research Capacity Planning branch of Alberta Advanced Education and Technology. Data derived from the report are compiled and used as a performance measure in Measuring Up, a component of the Government of Alberta's Annual Report, and the Business Plan and Annual Report for the Ministry of Advanced Education and Technology (AET). The data collection process has been adjusted in order to provide and analyze data that are consistent with the overall sponsored research revenue totals reported by the institutions to the Canadian Association of University Business Officers (CAUBO). These institutions include Athabasca University, and the Universities of Alberta, Calgary and Lethbridge. Previous reports described a ten year span of historical data, but given requirements associated with restating the data in accordance with the new process, this report details a five year span of data.

Description

The Research Capacity Program (RCP) is a competitive funding program designed to support the acquisition of small equipment and large research infrastructure to build capacity in Campus Alberta institutions and support multidisciplinary teams of researchers conducting excellent research and innovation initiatives. The RCP is aligned with Alberta's research and innovation system and investments are made in the context of Government of Alberta (GoA) research and innovation priorities and Institutional Research Plan (IRP) priorities. The RCP uses a cost-shared funding approach to provide up to 40% of the total eligible project costs for successful proposals, enabling projects to leverage support from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and other sources. To facilitate this cost-shared approach, the RCP coordinates its competition streams and competitive cycles with the CFI, as shown in the table below. The RCP funding stream descriptions and timelines are outlined in section 9...
