  14. The FTE for FY 2010 to 2011 was prorated to 56 FTE months to better reflect the remaining seven months of the current fiscal year. This number was arrived at by determining what seven represents as a percentage of 12 and then determining the product of that percentage and 96 (the current FTE for the evaluation unit).
  15. Total planned spending is calculated on CIHR MRRS data for planned spending in 2010/11.

Data from the 2010/11 Interagency Evaluation Plan and PMEF/RMAF documents was also reviewed.
  16. This figure is based on the resource requirements for the Evaluation Unit, and therefore only includes costs where Evaluation Unit core budget is required.
