The Group of Thirteen, more commonly referred to as the G13 (or G-13), is a group of leading research-intensive universities in Canada. Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Formed over 10 years ago as an informal biannual meeting of university executive heads, the grouping is similar to the Australian Group of Eight, although it is not incorporated. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Australia topics. The Group of Eight (Go8 is a group of eight Australian tertiary institutions which are the oldest Universities in Australia. Incorporation (abbreviated Inc in US and Canadian business names is the forming of a new Corporation (a corporation being a legal entity The G13's primary activity is in joint research programmes. The chairmanship of the G13 rotates among the executive heads of the thirteen universities. There are currently 428,000 students enrolled in the 13 universities.

As of April of 2006, three universities were added to the group, expanding the group from ten universities (formerly the G10) to thirteen. The three universities added were the University of Calgary, Dalhousie University and the University of Ottawa. The University of Calgary is a research-intensive Public university in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Dalhousie University is a University located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. For the university in Ottawa Kansas see Ottawa University. The University of Ottawa or Université d'Ottawa in French ^[1]

The 13 organizations have within them 66% of all Canada Research Chairs nationwide. Canada Research Chairs (CRCs are Canadian University Research Professorships created through the Canada Research Chairs Program CRC allocations are proportional to the amount of grant funding from the three federal granting agencies (NSERC, CIHR, and SSHRC); thus, G13 institutions receive about two thirds of all government research funding in Canada. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC is a Canadian government division that provides grants for research in the Natural sciences Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR is the major federal agency responsible for funding health research in Canada. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC is an arm's length Canadian federal funding agency

With the expansion of the G10 in 2006 to include the University of Calgary, Dalhousie University and the University of Ottawa, they will be participating in future data exchanges in the G13.

Endowments

Total endowment wealth

The G13 schools have some of the highest financial endowments in Canada. A financial endowment is a Transfer of Money or Property donated to an Institution, usually with the stipulation that it be invested Although they are substantially less than the wealthiest US universities, they are approximately on par with the wealthiest universities in Asia and Europe. Most of the G13 schools have endowments of over $100 million. It should be noted that in the University of Toronto, constituent colleges hold endowments as well (not included in these figures).

Endowment per student

It should be noted that in the University of Toronto, constituent colleges hold endowments as well. Therefore, in some cases, the combined endowment per student exceeds other Canadian universities. At Trinity College, for example, investments totalling $64. 7 million lift the endowment per student to $58,445. ^[4]

The G10 data exchange (G10DE) was modelled after a similar data exchange consortium of leading American research universities, and in a comparatively short period of time, the G10DE has produced a valuable set of comparative data. The scope of the G10DE continues to expand, and it holds promise for the development of additional benchmarking data in future. "

The G10DE, comprising the institutional research directors at each of the G10 institutions, would, through the formal and informal exchange of datasets and information, support Executive Heads in the development and enhancement of the distinctive mission of the institutions. Almost two years since its creation, the G10DE is well underway and has proven to be efficient in creating and maintaining the data resources necessary to construct interinstitutional and inter-jurisdictional comparisons.
