/ Research capacity

2. Research capacity

Québec researchers and research students consistently demonstrate their excellence in the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) competitions in which, year after year, they are awarded a significant share of research grants. This performance constitutes one aspect of research capacity that Québec has developed over the last decades. Other indicators relating to funding, research infrastructure and researcher training have been compiled by the Observatoire des sciences et des technologies to illustrate Québec’s capacity for knowledge production and researcher training.
