Analysis

Data on science and technology (S&T) expenditures and full-time equivalent personnel allocated to biotechnology for fiscal year 2006/2007 were collected from selected federal government departments and agencies.The biotechnology S&T data comprise expenditures on research and development (R&D) and related scientific activities (RSA) for both intramural and extramural performers and the full-time equivalent personnel associated with these activities.

Canada's economic competitiveness depends on scientific and technological development and also on the people responsible for this development, especially those engaged in R&D. In an earlier Science statistics bulletin, we published the gross domestic expenditures on R&D in Canada (GERD). This issue presents a supplementary measure to the GERD, the number of personnel who perform Canada's R&D activities.

New licenses and patents issued reached all-time highs in federal departments and agencies in 2003/2004 and 2004/2005. Invention disclosures and patent applications showed moderate declines from previous years. This article discusses how much of the technology developed at federal government labs is viable commercially.

This document presents the geographical distribution of Federal Government expenditures on science and technology. Included in this report are tables presenting expenditures and staff of federal government scientific establishments for the fiscal year 2003/2004. The statistics presented in this report are supplements of data published in the Service Bulletin "Science Statistics" Vol. 30, No. 1, Catalogue No. 88-001XIE.

The statistics presented in this report are supplements of data published in the Service Bulletin "Science Statistics" Vol. 29, No. 1, Catalogue 88-001XIE. Included in this report are tables presenting expenditures and staff of federal government scientific establishments for the fiscal year 2002-2003.

This publication is an explanation of the estimation procedures used to calculate 2002-2003 research and development (R&D) expenditures in the higher education sector. This estimation procedure was revised in 2000 as R&D activities in the higher education sector have increased in importance to policy developers, major funders of these activities, and also to the performing institutions themselves. In 2002-2003 the R&D expenditures for higher education were estimated to total $7.4 billion, an increase of 16% over 2001-2002 revised estimates.

Many government departments conduct research and development (R&D), patent inventions and license their technologies. Statistics Canada's Federal Science Expenditures and Personnel (FSEP) survey tracks intellectual property (IP) management activities.

Canadian health research is conducted in universities, teaching hospitals, business enterprises, government laboratories and private non-profit organizations. This research is funded from a variety of sources including public, private, domestic and foreign.

This paper provides more detailed information than was previously released in Science Statistics (Catalogue no. 88-001, vol. 27, no. 6). This is the fourth time the Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division (SIEID) of Statistics Canada has published an estimate of health research and development spending in Canada.

This table is an assembly of some of the most important statistics on the new economy.

This, the first issue of 2002 presents an opportunity to recapitulate some of the findings that we have reported during the life of the Bulletin. In an interview, Dr. Fred Gault, Director of Statistics Canada's Science, Innovation and Electronic Information Division, discusses some of the findings on innovation, e-commerce, emerging technologies, Internet use, the telecommunications industry, R&D and commercialization.
