The National Research Council is Canada's principal research and development agency. Its 20 institutes are structured to address interdisciplinary problems for industrial sectors, and to provide the necessary scientific infrastructure, such as the national science library. Behavioural scientists are active in five institutes: Biological Sciences, Biodiagnostics, Aerospace, Information Technology, and Construction. Research topics include basic cellular neuroscience, brain function, human factors in the cockpit, human-computer interaction, emergency evacuation, and indoor environment effects on occupants. Working in collaboration with NRC colleagues and with researchers from universities and industry, NRC behavioural scientists develop knowledge, designs, and applications that put technology to work for people, designed with people in mind.
国家研究委员会是加拿大主要的研发机构。其20个研究所的架构旨在解决各工业部门的跨学科问题，并提供必要的科学基础设施，如国家科学图书馆。行为科学家活跃于五个研究所：生物科学、生物诊断、航空航天、信息技术和建筑。研究主题包括基础细胞神经科学、脑功能、驾驶舱中的人为因素、人机交互、紧急疏散以及室内环境对居住者的影响。国家研究委员会的行为科学家与该委员会的同事以及来自大学和企业的研究人员合作，开发知识、设计和应用，以使技术造福人类，并将人的因素纳入设计考量。
