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! #SupportOurScience

Support Our Science@supportourscience.bsky.social

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.

This data must NOT be made public. Doing so would compromise researcher privacy (especially for vulnerable groups), undermine confidential peer review, and expose unpublished research. We support accountability, but it must preserve privacy and scientific integrity. #SupportOurScience

Our primary ask: The Government of Canada must exempt Tri-Agency base research grants, CRTAS scholarships and fellowships, and trainee funding from the current spending-review reductions, and recommit to fully implementing Budget 2024 research investments.
