Investigating commercial impact of applied research funding in NB (CONTINUED)

In an atmosphere of dwindling research funding availability, making sure that the limited money is wisely invested is of critical importance. In our study, we propose to investigate how applied research has been funded in NB over the last decade, and how this funding has impacted economic growths. This study will attempt to make a link between applied research and creation of start-ups and spinouts, with the objective to determine what kind of research funding, at what stage in the research continuum, has the greatest economic impact. This will directly benefit the NBIF and other funding agencies by allowing them to target their funding programs and thus maximising the benefit for New Brunswick.
