  1. The National Health and Research Development Program had a budget of $30 million per year in the late 1980s, compared to the $145 million CIHR spent on health services and population health research in 2009–2010. Its budget had shrunk to approximately $13 million per year at the time of dissolution.

  12. The only exception to this is the funds allocated for CIHR administration, where up to 5% of the annual amount can be carried into the next fiscal year.

  13. The allocation of a grant or award to one of the four research themes is made voluntarily by the applicant(s) and is not validated by CIHR. In 2009–2010, 9% of all CIHR expenditures were not attributed to a particular research theme due to non-specification of a research theme by the applicant. Some institutes have validated the researcher assignment(s) in their individual reports (e.g., IPPH) and eliminated what they consider inappropriate assignments; thus, their numbers may differ from those in Figures 4B and 4D. This chart excludes the Canada Research Chairs (CRC), Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE), Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) and business-led NCEs, for which the applicants do not declare a theme, hence totals are different from those of Figure 4A. Data include grants transferred from National Health Research and Development Program to CIHR in April 2001.
