In partnership with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AAF), Genome Alberta is pleased to announce the launch of the Alberta Applied Agricultural Genomics Program (A3GP).

This funding competition aims to support the advancement of genomics-enabled research to address challenges and opportunities important to Alberta’s agriculture and agri-food sectors. The A3GP will provide funding for genomics-based research projects of up to $250,000 over a period of 2 years. Genome Alberta and AAF will support 100% of eligible project costs, and research projects are encouraged to leverage this investment with other sources of funding. Research proposals where investigators are participating in larger national or international efforts are strongly encouraged.

Registrations for the competition will be due to Genome Alberta by Tuesday, May 8th, 2018 at 11:59 PM MDT.

The full program guidelines and registration form are available here.
