I do not think it is. There is a need for a fund to fund bricks-and-mortar-type investment, be it for equipment, laboratories or libraries. That was what was always there in the PRTLI. Other funding streams are funding individuals, individual research teams and their projects, which is great, but it is a different type of funding and I believe we have a gap.
