The Saskatchewan Research Council is a provincial treasury board crown corporation conducting research and business on behalf of the provincial government and private industry.〔SaskBiz Website: http://www.saskbiz.ca/Links.asp〕 It focuses on applied research and development projects that generate profit.〔SRC About Us Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/index.cfm〕 Some of its funding comes from government grants, but it generates the balance from selling products and services.〔Government of Saskatchewan Webpage: http://www.finance.gov.sk.ca/paccts/paccts08/compendium/reports/oe-Sask%20Research%20Council.pdf〕 == History == The Province of Saskatchewan established SRC in 1947.〔SRC History Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/src_history/index.cfm〕 SRC carried out its work through grants-in-aid to specific applied research activities at the University of Saskatchewan.〔Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan: http://esask.uregina.ca/entry/saskatchewan_research_council_src.html〕 SRC’s first Director of Research was Dr. T. T. Thorvaldson, head of the university’s chemistry department.〔SRC History Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/src_history/index.cfm〕 In 1954, SRC expanded its mandate to incorporate independent research.〔SRC History Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/src_history/index.cfm〕 Dr. T.E. Warren, director of the Fuels Research Laboratory in Ottawa, was appointed to oversee the construction of a new building and hire employees.〔SRC History Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/src_history/index.cfm〕 Under Warren’s direction, SRC opened its own laboratories in 1958 and then expanded in 1963.〔SRC History Webpage: http://www.src.sk.ca/html/about_src/src_history/index.cfm〕 With newly appointed SRC President Dr. T.P.
