On June 15, 2018, Genome Canada, in partnership with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, launched a new funding competition seeking proposals for large-scale research projects that will propose genomic solutions in agriculture, agri-food, fisheries and aquaculture.
In keeping with Genome Canada’s mandate to invest in large-scale projects, project budgets can range from $2 to $8 million and can be up to four years in duration. Genome Canada will fund a maximum of $4 million per project. The rest of a project’s funding will have to come from other sources. The total funding envelope for this competition is $30 million from Genome Canada and $16 million from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
In order to better prepare the projects for this competition, Génome Québec will offer support throughout the process to all applicants, including on the strategic and administrative orientation of an application. Génome Québec will organize “friendly” peer reviews of pre-applications prior to submission to Genome Canada. All applicants will receive feedback on their applications in order to render them more competitive.
