At the November 2016 COMRAC meeting, the committee agreed to a process to develop the Five Year RD&E Plan that would widely engage stakeholders for their input, take account of past investments and current priorities, as well as other relevant planning documents.

The Plan’s strategic priority areas form the basis of the annual investment priority setting processes. These annual plans are circulated to all RACs, Subprograms, coordination programs and IPAs, and made available through the FRDC website.
