If you simply do research and you don't actually apply it to a really debilitating, as you say, nasty pediatric disease, disorder, whatever, it's fine for MRC—Henry may give you grants and so forth; maybe he won't—but the point finally is the application of that knowledge, in your case to improving the health of Canadians and people in the world.
Si on l'applique à une maladie pédiatrique grave, c'est cela qui aura vraiment permis d'améliorer la santé des gens, et pas simplement le fait que l'on aura obtenu de l'argent du CRM.
