There is a graphic that shows the hierarchy of NRC's program structure in accordance with the Treasury Board Secretariat's Resources, and Results Structure (MRRS) Policy. A legend accompanies the diagram and indicates that black shading is used to represent the Strategic Outcome level of reporting, that dark grey shading is used to represent the Program Activity level of reporting, and that light grey shading represents the Program Sub-Activity level of reporting for the Departmental Performance Reports. In the top row of the graphic, there is a single black rectangular box with the text "An innovative, knowledge-based economy for Canada through research and development, technology commercialization and industry support". Beneath this box, there is a row of three dark grey rectangular boxes with the texts "Research and Development", Technology and Industry Support", and "Internal Services". Beneath the "Research and Development" Program Activity, there are twenty-one light grey boxes connected to that Program Activity by vertical lines. Beneath the "Technology and Industry Support" Program Activity, there are 3 light grey boxes connected to that Program Activity by vertical lines. There are no boxes displayed under the "Internal Services" Program Activity box.
