| Canada's three federal granting agencies
– The Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), Science

Canada. The Steering Committee is assisted by the NCE Management
Committee, composed of the granting agencies' programs vice-presidents,
the Industry Canada Innovation Policy Branch Director General, the
NSERC Director of Policy and International Relations and the NCE
Program Director.
The NCE is a permanent program of the Government of Canada, receiving
