Your research advances human health — the government wants to fund it.
Clinical research, bioinformatics, and health-tech development are among the highest-value SR&ED categories. If you're doing systematic R&D, you qualify.
Work you're already doing.
SR&ED eligibility comes down to technological uncertainty and systematic investigation. Here's what that looks like in your world.
Clinical trial software & data systems
“Can we build a data capture system that meets regulatory requirements while supporting adaptive trial designs?”
Developing EDC systems, randomization engines, or clinical data management platforms that go beyond configuring existing CTMS tools — especially for novel trial methodologies.
Bioinformatics & computational biology
“Can we develop an analysis pipeline that identifies biomarkers from this complex multi-omics dataset?”
Building custom bioinformatics pipelines, developing novel algorithms for genomic analysis, or creating computational models for drug discovery and molecular simulation.
Health data platform engineering
“Can we build a platform that integrates disparate health records while maintaining privacy compliance at scale?”
Developing health data interoperability solutions, custom FHIR implementations, or novel approaches to de-identification and privacy-preserving analytics.
Medical device software (SaMD)
“Can we develop an algorithm that meets clinical accuracy requirements for regulatory submission?”
Building Software as a Medical Device — diagnostic algorithms, clinical decision support systems, or patient monitoring platforms where regulatory-grade accuracy is uncertain.
Regulatory & compliance technology
“Can we automate regulatory submission preparation while maintaining the accuracy required for Health Canada review?”
Developing novel regulatory technology — automated submission builders, compliance monitoring systems, or validation frameworks for GxP environments.
Real-world evidence & analytics
“Can we extract meaningful clinical insights from this unstructured real-world data?”
Building systems to process real-world data from EHRs, claims databases, or patient registries — including NLP for clinical notes and novel statistical methodologies.
Eligible vs. not eligible.
SR&ED rewards work that pushes the boundaries of what's known, not routine development. Here's how CRA draws the line.
Developing a custom EDC platform that supports adaptive trial designs with real-time interim analysis — required novel architecture to handle protocol amendments mid-trial.
Configuring Medidata Rave or REDCap with standard forms and validation rules for a conventional clinical trial.
Building a bioinformatics pipeline that identifies potential drug targets from multi-omics data — required developing custom algorithms when existing tools couldn't handle the dataset complexity.
Running standard BLAST searches or using established bioinformatics tools with default parameters on well-characterized datasets.
Creating an AI-powered diagnostic algorithm for medical imaging that required extensive experimentation to achieve the sensitivity and specificity needed for regulatory submission.
Implementing a standard patient portal using an existing EHR vendor's API and documented integration patterns.
Developing a novel de-identification pipeline for clinical notes that preserves research utility while meeting provincial privacy regulations — no existing NLP approach handled the edge cases.
Applying standard data masking rules to structured database fields using a commercial de-identification tool.

From your workflow to your refund.
Life sciences companies often have the most SR&ED-eligible work — and the most complex documentation requirements. Between regulatory compliance, clinical protocols, and computational research, there's enormous potential that traditional SR&ED consultants miss because they don't understand the technical depth.
Shreddit connects to your GitHub, Jira, Google Drive, and Notion to continuously track the technological uncertainty in your software and computational work. Whether you're building bioinformatics pipelines, clinical trial platforms, or health data systems, we identify the R&D and generate CRA-compliant narratives.
For organizations with both wet-lab and software R&D, Shreddit handles the software side comprehensively — freeing your team to focus on the science while we prepare the claim documentation from your existing technical artifacts.
