Governance

The Networks of Centres of Excellence is jointly administered by Canada's three granting agencies: The Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). This is done in partnership with Industry Canada.

A Steering Committee made up of the presidents of the three granting agencies and the deputy ministers of both Industry Canada and Health Canada manages the Networks of Centres of Excellence. The Steering Committee is assisted by the NCE management committee, which is made up of a representative at the vice-president and director-general level from each of the three granting councils and Industry Canada, as well as the associate vice-president of the NCE and the director of the Policy and International Relations division at NSERC.
