After six years of provincial investment, BC now ranks as Canada’s most improved jurisdiction in the competition for health research funding, with an increase in funding from all sources of $577 million between 2000 and 2005. Yet even with these gains, BC still has room to grow. The province currently attracts less than its per-population share of national funding, a shortfall most notable in the biomedical research sector. These findings and more are part of a report evaluating BC’s performance in health research between 2000 and 2005.

MSFHR’s peer review practices ensure that the highest standards are maintained in the Foundation’s funding competitions and that our processes for arriving at funding decisions are fair and transparent. During our first 3.5 years, modifications have been made to program guidelines, evaluation criteria and peer review processes based on input from key BC advisory groups and competition applicants. In October 2004, the Foundation took this one step further by hosting an international external advisory panel to review and make recommendations about additional ways to improve our processes around peer review. Following the panel’s submission of a summary report to the Board, MSFHR is now responding to these recommendations.
