Funding, News and Announcements

Genome Canada has issued a funding opportunity to support regional genomics projects designed to address specific, short-term needs of industry, not-for-profit, and public sector receptors through research conducted by academics in collaboration with these receptors. These projects will be identified by regional Genome Centres and may involve co-funding by provincial or industry partners (or other sources), although this isn’t required.

Projects are expected to be outcome-driven, small-scale or larger (depending on other funding sources) and focused on delivering a genomics-based solution to help address the current crisis in the near term.

Genome Canada is making $1.5 million available, up to $250,000 per regional Genome Centre. It is expected that these initiatives will start no later than July 1, 2020 and be completed on/before June 30, 2022.

Registration deadline: Friday, April 10. Please see this link to register.
