What it does
TRIUMF is a national laboratory that seeks to make discoveries that address the most compelling questions in particle physics, nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, and materials science. TRIUMF also seeks to transfer knowledge, train highly skilled personnel, and commercialize research for the economic, social, environmental, and health benefit of all Canadians. NRC provides approximately $50 M per year for TRIUMF’s core operations, while a number of other organizations, including federal funders, provide funding for capital infrastructure and support TRIUMF researchers and research activities. While TRIUMF outputs and outcomes are not directly under NRC's control, its performance will be monitored to ensure effective stewardship of the funds.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2018-19. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRIUMF | This program | 2018-19 – 2028-29 | $415M |
No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.
No significant changes detected.
