1. Change in use of confidential data in Tri-Agency grant applications
Dear CAIMS*SCMAI members,
It came to our attention that a motion [1] was tabled in the
House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research
to demand access to potential confidential data (from the last five years) about grant applicants and applications to governmental funding agencies
“for all student and faculty funding programs from the master’s level onwards.”
CAIMS*SCMAI members who are concerned may want to reach out to the chair or
members of the Committee. There is also at least one open letter
circulating [2] with a signatory deadline of Nov 4.
CAIMS*SCMAI does not endorse or oppose, but we think
our members should be informed.
