Update: The SRSR amended its motion to request anonymized, aggregated Tri-Council data — protecting researcher privacy, and scientific integrity while supporting accountability.

Thank you to Canada’s research community for speaking up!

We're concerned about the SRSR motion requesting 25 years of disaggregated tri-council data. While we understand the data is intended to be anonymized, this wasn't explicitly stated in the motion – and the specific information requested could still enable re-identification when linked together.

🚨 New Paper 🚨
Coauthors and I just published our work in PLOS One on Canadian graduate funding. We found that Canadian graduate funding falls _well_ below cost of living.
On average, $10kCAD below cost of living.
