Q In general, how do you see Canada doing in the
translation of research into application?
A This is an area where we typically do the Canadian
thing: beat ourselves up about our supposed failings. I
don't think that we're doing any better or worse than
other countries because, in general, translating
research findings into clinical practice or policy or
into products is a tough, frustrating, often
contradictory process no matter where you are on the
planet.
Research activity across Ontario universities has
increased dramatically over the past 10 years.
