THIS FUNDING OPPORTUNITY IS NOW CLOSED
This partnership with AAFC was launched following the results of the Genome Canada LSARP 2018 Competition: Genomics Solutions for Agriculture, Agri-food, Fisheries and Aquaculture. Only the projects that were selected by Genome Canada but unable to be funded due to lack of funds were able to participate in this competition. In the same vein as the LSARP 2018 competition, AAFC aimed to encourage its scientists to foster collaboration with their academic and industry colleagues. Génome Québec saw it as a great opportunity to help establish new partnerships and allow Quebec researchers to be competitive at national level. In addition, these innovative partnerships allow Quebec to increase the economic development of this strategic sector.
Finally, by partnering with AAFC, Génome Québec promotes the entry of federal money into the province and diversifies its collaborations with other sources of funding.
