Genome Canada Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Aquaculture Competition coming soon
Published: May 9th 2018Genome Canada’s Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition in Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Aquaculture is expected to be launched in June 2018. This highly competitive funding opportunity is aimed at supporting projects that demonstrate how genomics-based research can improve health care, contribute to a more evidence-based approach to health, and enhance the cost-effectiveness of the health care system.
Projects can range from $2-8 million over four years. Successful projects in recent competitions have most often been pan-Canadian in scope and team composition.
Even though the competition doesn’t launch until June 2018, Genome Atlantic wants to ensure researchers have the resources and guidance to prepare a competitive application. We plan to engage and support local teams by offering help with proposal development all the way through to hiring strategic consultants and expert reviewers.
In order to ensure that Genome Atlantic can provide teams with access to this support, we are asking interested researchers to fill out an early Expression of Interest form prior to May 28, 2018.
For more information about the opportunity and process and to obtain an early Expression of Interest form, please contact Andy Stone (astone@genomeatlantic.ca) or Britta Fiander (bfiander@genomeatlantic.ca).
