Summative evaluation of the Industrial Research and Development Internship (IRDI) Program / prepared by Ference Weicker & Company Ltd.: CR22-58/2013E-PDF

This summative evaluation focuses on the relevance, achievement of expected outcomes, design, implementation, and efficiency and economy of the IRDI program. This is the first evaluation of the program and covers activities implemented from the origin of the program in 2007-08 to 2011-12. The federal government provided $25.5 million in total funding to the program over this five year period. The IRDI is administered by the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) Secretariat, which reports administratively to NSERC, and delivered by two third party recipient organizations: Mitacs through its Accelerate program and AUTO 21 through its Connect Canada program.
