The National Research Council Canada (NRC) bridges the innovation gap between early stage research and development (R&D) and commercialization, focusing on socio-economic benefits for Canada and increasing national performance in business-led R&D and innovation. A federal leader in technology development, NRC supports Canadian industry to enhance their innovation capabilities and capacity and become more productive in the development and deployment of innovative products, processes and services for markets of national priority and importance. With a presence in every province, NRC combines its strong national foundation with international linkages to help Canada grow in productivity and remain globally competitive. NRC works in collaboration with industry, governments and academia to maximize Canada’s overall R&D investment.
Program 3-year reviews (hereafter referred to as “the reviews”) are required by the National Research Council (NRC) to assess the continued industrial relevance and client engagement success of NRC programs, with reference to eventual program impact realization, and to provide recommendations to NRC on potential program continuation, termination, or change in light of market factors. The SOW outlines the proposed work to be undertaken to complete the reviews, and defines the work to be carried out by the consultant in support of the project.
