Description
Genome Canada is expected to announce its Large-Scale Applied Research Project Competition in Agriculture, Agri-Food, and Aquaculture in June 2018. To have the best possible chance of success in this highly competitive opportunity, Atlantic Canadian researchers are encouraged to engage with Genome Atlantic as soon as possible.
The purpose of Genome Atlantic’s (GA) early Expression of Interest (eEOI) is to gauge early interest and help jumpstart the process of preparing teams for Genome Canada’s Large Scale Applied Research Project (LSARP) 2018 launch. Genome Canada’s LSARP funding program is extremely demanding and with a funding envelope of $30M, it is likely that no more than 8 to 10 proposals will be funded. These successful proposals will unquestionably involve established researchers, international collaborations, engaged end users, and a solid plan for co-funding. Please see the list of previously funded projects.
Due to the highly competitive nature of this competition, it is mandatory to submit a complete eEOI to Genome Atlantic to access proposal support such as participation in whiteboard sessions, access to strategic consultants to help to develop strong, impactful proposals, as well as support to identify sources of co-funding and potential collaborators.
Information is also available on the Genome Atlantic website.
If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Stone at astone@genomeatlantic.ca or Britta Fiander at bfiander@genomeatlantic.ca.
