The objective of the Application of Genomic Tools to the Detection and Surveillance of Listeria monocytogenes Request for Applications (RFA) is to support research that will demonstrate how genomics-based research/technologies can contribute to a more evidence-based approach to detection and surveillance of Listeria.
The current RFA is being run under the auspices of Genome Canada’a Emerging Issues Program that supports projects that are reactive and responsive to emerging issues of high importance, both nationally and internationally. An emerging issue has been defined as an unanticipated issue, which has newly arisen or suddenly increased in importance, and requires urgent/immediate attention and timely resolution (e.g. SARS, C. difficile).
It is expected that one consortium will be funded to carry out this research. It is anticipated that the consortium will consist of teams of scientists from academia paired with scientists from the CFIA and possibly other Government departments and agencies working in partnership with the Genome Canada-funded Science and Technology Innovation Centres (STICs) or other Canadian sequencing centres.
