Investing in scientific research is investing in Canada's future. 🇨🇦 🔬

CSMB has submitted its recommendations for Canada's 2026 federal pre-budget consultations, highlighting the importance of sustained research funding for crisis preparedness, scientific innovation and retaining research talent in Canada.

Our submission outlines three priorities: predictable funding for investigator-led research, increased support for research infrastructure and personnel, and modernizing grant assessment while preserving expert peer review and human oversight.

Read our full submission to learn more about these recommendations and their role in strengthening Canada's research ecosystem.

Investir dans la recherche scientifique, c'est investir dans l'avenir du Canada. 🇨🇦 🔬

La SCBM a présenté ses recommandations dans le cadre des consultations prébudgétaires fédérales de 2026, soulignant l'importance d'un financement durable de la recherche pour la préparation aux crises, l'innovation scientifique et la rétention des talents au Canada.

Notre mémoire présente trois priorités : un financement prévisible de la recherche à l'initiative des chercheurs, un soutien accru aux infrastructures et au personnel de recherche, ainsi que la modernisation de l'évaluation des demandes de subvention, tout en préservant l'évaluation par les pairs et la supervision humaine.

Consultez notre mémoire pour en savoir plus sur ces recommandations et leur contribution à l'écosystème canadien de la recherche.
