What GCRI Canada does in the programme.
Consortium Secretariat
Coordinates the integrated programme and keeps its records, calendars, decision logs and source registers, and routes correspondence to the regional and country desks.
Global contracting party
One contracting party worldwide, with standard agreements, terms and policies that every deployment inherits. A national host or lead organization acts under its own agreement and never replaces GCRI Canada as contracting party.
Evidence and methods
Stewards the methods, national baselines and technical assistance that turn national questions into testable work.
Whom it supports, and on what terms.
GCRI Canada supports the national and regional consortiums, GCRI US, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) in defined areas: contracting and the legal framework, platform hosting and operations, privacy and records, security and access, evidence and methods, Secretariat services, reports and institutional cooperation. Support is delivered under written agreements; listing an area does not mean an agreement for it has been executed.
GCRI Canada is not the legal parent, treasury, employer, agent or regulator of any participant, and Nexus Foundry is never described as operated by it alone.
