Biotechnology scientific activities in federal government departments and agencies, 2003-2004

Data on science and technology (S&T) expenditures and full-time equivalent allocated to biotechnology for the fiscal year 2003-2004 were collected from selected federal departments and agencies. Survey results contribute to the work of the Canadian Biotechnology Strategy.

The S&T data collected for biotechnology are composed of expenditures on research and development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) for both intramural and extramural performers and also the full-time equivalent associated with these activities.
