Evaluation framework for the Canada Research Chairs Program

The Canada Research Chairs Program enables Canadian universities to create research opportunities that will attract and retain the outstanding researchers. It is aimed at developing 2000 university chairs between years 2000 and 2005. The 2000 Budget provided $900 million over five years toward that objective — in addition to $250 million earmarked within the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to support the program.

The evaluation framework paves the way for ongoing performance monitoring, the mid-term review and the evaluation planned in the fifth year of program implementation. Thanks to the committee comprised of the Social Science and Humanities Research Council, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research for allowing the distribution of this report here.
