Table 1. Timing of calendar year and fiscal year for funding, currency, and currency rate compared with US dollar (USD).
Figure 1. Longitudinal trends in funding landscape for radiation research in Canada. Key events/developments affecting funding streams or shift in scientific interest are shown at the bottom of the diagram. *, the landscape reflects qualitative, not quantitative, assessment of funding sources relative to each other; no trends for absolute amounts were assessed. **, the spike reflects a CAD 50 M investment from the CANDU Owners Group toward the construction of the Biological Research Facility for low-dose radiation biological studies at Chalk River Laboratories.

Table 4. Percentage of overall EC funding per target platform, broken down by framework programs (based on CORDIS); for FP4 as far as information could be retrieved.
Figure 2. A trend in the total amount of Grants-in-aid for Scientific Research in the fields related to radiation biology. Funds for research subjects under the following fields are summed: ‘radiobiology’ (1972–1992), ‘environmental effects assessment (including radiobiology)’ (1993–2002), and ‘risk sciences of radiation/chemicals’ (2003–2012). Created from data in NII (Citation2018).
Figure 3. Governmental investment on NIRS. (A) Trends in the annual budget of grants for administrative expense (orange) and facilities grant (grey). Data are from NIRS (Citation1977, Citation1987, Citation2018) and its annual project plans. Breakdown of annual budgets of grants for administrative expense in million (M) JPY in 1995 (B) and 2015 (C). (B) Nuclear energy fundamental research, safety analysis research and about two third of the radiological priority research were related to radiation safety research and radiobiology. (C) Employment expenses are included in each project in C. Data taken from NIRS (Citation1995, Citation2018).
