Science research farm out stifled by Jeff Carruthers Ottawa after Only a year problems Are cropping up to face the government s new policy to contract out More and More Federal re search to Industry. The. Latest science spending report from statistics Canada says the policy won t really to be Felt until next fiscal year 1973-74. And it concludes that so far there is no evidence from the present Survey covering years through 1973-74, of any major shifts in contracting require ments on the part of Ottawa. More important the prospects of a much tighter Federal science budget for next year threatens to undercut the policy s implementation and even to push Back Ottawa s target Date of 1980 for having Industry doing More federally supported research than the government s own laboratories. Government sources say science agencies and depart ments Are being told to hold the line on budgets this year As part of the government s fight against inflation. A 0ne source said that trea sury Board which manipulates the purse strings in Ottawa i imposing a formula that will give most agencies the Sami sort of increase in their spend ing As they got last year with extra Money to cover salary increases and perhaps another additional amount to Cove some of the inroads of Infra lion. There would be two Majo effects of such a budget Thi growth of Federal science spending would Likely Flat Lei out somewhat and might Ever drop slightly and new pro Grams will undoubtedly go Cut. For the new contracting of policy both effects could Mca serious trouble. First of All officials i charge of the contracting of program say they need to hav science spending grow at Abou 12 or 13 per cent a year to b Able to meet their targets Dur ing the coming five years. Second and most important the policy covers Only no science programs. In some ii stances it also covers add Lions to existing programs.

The target for this fiscal ear officials say is million to Ardithe program is already slightly of Arget by about a projections. Next year the target is in contracts More than double what will be achieved his year. And All of that has o come out of new science projects. The task facing the govern ment is to reverse the presen rend when it comes to Federal science done in House and done n Industry. At present about 6 per Cen done in House by federa agencies and about 18 per Cen s done in Industry. By 1980, Ottawa wants Industry doing at least As much Federal research As federa agencies Are doing. And mos of the change will supposedly involve strengthening Industrial activity rather than cutting ack Federal in House activity. To add to the problems a present Only about half of the contracts Are actually going to Industry despite the fact tha the policy is aimed at Industry first and Foremost. Steps Are being taken to crease Industrial participation and at the same time to re strict the contracts univ Critie can get.
