Total expenses are projected to be $1,074 million in fiscal year 2011–12. The majority of these expenses are for transfer payments ($1,018 million) in the form of grants and scholarships related to departmental programs. The balance of spending is made up of salaries and employee benefits ($38 million) and other operating expenses ($18 million). The latter two types of expenses are required to support departmental programs and other corporate obligations.

2 The $56.4 million decrease in planned financial resources between 2011-12 and 2013-14 results from the temporary funding from Budget 2009 (Canada’s Economic Action Plan) that will decrease in 2011-12 and cease in 2012-13, and from targeted funding scheduled to end in 2012-13. See the Expenditure Profile section of this report for further detail on NSERC’s budget increases and decreases over this timeframe.
