Organisation

The Steering Committee is responsible for running the programme – from selecting projects, ensuring scientific quality, to producing a synthesis of the programme.

The programme managers and the president of the Steering Committee are responsible for the operational management. The head of knowledge transfer is responsible for the communication of the research results to target audiences. The representative of the federal offices brings their concerns to the Steering Committee and disseminates the findings throughout the administration.

The Programmes division of the National Research Council is ultimately responsible for the NRP. The delegate of the Research Council acts as a link between the Research Council and the Steering Committee.
