Abstract
This article presents the findings of a study on the effects of the Technological Research Assistance Program (TRAP) on the primary activities of Quebec’s College Technology Transfer Centres (CTTCs). A database on the distribution of research grants and the activities of CTTCs has been created for this purpose. Then, panel data analysis techniques have been used to measure the effects of TRAP. The study results indicate that TRAP has a positive effect on the revenue of CTTC research projects. However, the increase in research revenue due to this program is slightly lower than the amount of the grant, which suggests that public funding for research partially crowds out private funding. Furthermore, the study suggests that the wise use of research assistance programs could stimulate research investment and, as a result, accelerate the advancement of knowledge and technological innovation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
