GOVERNMENT HUMAN RESOURCES DEVOTED TO R&D

Government human resources devoted to R&D in 2008-09 increased by 2%, or 282 person years of effort (PYE), from 2006-07. This increase was solely due to an increase in PYE for Technicians (up 20% or 1,010 PYE).

Both remaining types of human resource showed decreases in effort devoted to R&D; Researchers down 436 PYE or 5% from 2006-07 and Other staff down 291 PYE or 10%.

Researchers remained the highest contributing type of human resource in 2008-09, accounting for 49% of total effort compared to 52% in 2006-07.
