| Abstract | This report presents the results of the 2014‑15 evaluation of the National Research Council (NRC) Measurement Science and Standards (MSS) Portfolio. MSS is Canada's national metrology institute (NMI), conducting research and providing primary metrology services in the national interest. In this role, MSS provides traceability to the International System of Units (the SI, or metric system) for Canada and supports Canada's participation in the Bureau international des poids et mesures (BIPM). The Portfolio hosts three programs: Metrology for Industry and Society (MIS), Measurement Science for Emerging Technologies (MSET), and Scientific Support for the National Measurement System (SSNMS). Together, MSS activities aim to improve social and economic prosperity by enabling both product and process innovation in areas where precise and reliable measurements are critical to success. |
