Not providing that stability for researchers may result in a brain drain to other countries, says Lawrence Goodridge, who has worked in the U.S. and Canada. He said聽one common criterion聽for聽determining who gets grant funding in Canada is if聽a candidate demonstrates leadership or has received grants before.
