    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Bioproducts play an important role in the search for solutions to declining reserves of oil, increasing costs of oil extraction, increasing oil prices and increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration. They also offer opportunities for rural economic development and diversification for farmers. This article summarizes ongoing work towards improving our understanding of the bioproduct concepts and their definitions.

    Description:

    This article describes a pilot study conducted on companies who were clients of the NRC-IRAP British Columbia Region between 1987 and 1998. Growth indicators were produced for the period 1998 to 2002. Findings will enable NRC-IRAP to engage in evidence-based assessment of their disbursement of public funds, report on the effectiveness of the program, and make decisions regarding program amendment in light of measured outcomes.

    Description:

    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.

    Description:

    We are often asked what we have learned from working with clients, exchanging ideas with counterparts in other countries, in talking to our respondents and conducting surveys. This is the first of what we hope is an annual article highlighting in more detail some of the insights we have gained from our work.

    Description:

    This service bulletin contains estimates of total spending on research and development (R&D) in the health field in Canada. Tables demonstrate expenditures on health R&D by both performer and funder from 1988 to 2005 preliminary estimates. Historical data indicates that in Canada, health R&D expenditures as a percentage of Gross Domestic Expenditures on Research and Development (GERD), are growing.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In recent years, cities have become increasingly interested in their ability to generate, attract and retain human capital. One measure of human capital is employment in science- and engineering-based occupations. This paper provides a comparison of the employment shares of these specialized occupations across Canadian and U.S. cities by using data from the Canadian and the U.S. censuses from 1980-1981 and 2000-2001. The paper, therefore, provides a perspective on how Canadian cities performed relative to their U.S. counterparts over a twenty-year period. It also seeks to evaluate how cities of different sizes have performed, because large cities may be advantaged over smaller cities in terms of factors influencing both the demand for, and supply of, scientists and engineers.

    Description:

    This paper compares the size and composition of science and engineering employment in Canada and the United States. It examines the share of paid employment and paid earnings accounted for by the science and engineering workforce in both countries. Our tabulations distinguish between a core group and a related group of science and engineering workers. The core group includes computer and information scientists, life and related scientists, physical and related scientists, social and related scientists, and engineers. The related group includes workers in health-related occupations, science and engineering managers, science and engineering technologists and technicians, a residual class of other science and engineering workers, and post-secondary educators in science and engineering fields. We examine the employment and earnings shares of science and engineering workers over the 1980/1981 to 2000/2001 period. Detailed industry comparisons are reported for 2000/2001.
