Description
The John and Judy Bragg Family Foundation Applied Research Fund (Labrador) supports applied research projects related to Northern food systems, food security, and food sovereignty.
These competitive research grants will be awarded through an open competition, following the farm research principles and practices identified below, and reviewed through the Pye Centre Advisory Committee and the Pye Centre’s community farm-based research application process. Grants are available through two main streams: Start-Up and Communication.
Start-Up Grants
Up to $10,000
These grants provide support for preliminary farm-based research ideas, and support for bringing the appropriate stakeholders, rightsholders, and partners together to develop research proposals and ideas and/or to pilot a new technique or approach.
Projects may include, but are not limited to: experimental trials and testing for new cold- hardy strains; new technologies for enhancing Northern agriculture; strategies for increasing productivity and yield; and strategies for enhancing soil health.
Communication Grants
Up to $5,000
Research sharing and dissemination is an essential part of community farm-based research at the Pye Centre.
These funds can be used to support a variety of research sharing strategies, including public talks and events, multimedia approaches, visual summaries and clear language briefs, and developing farmer training material.
