Ontario Genomics is pleased to announce that a new round of Genome Canada’s Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) is now open.

The GAPP funds public-private research collaborations focused on developing genomics-derived technologies that address opportunities and challenges identified by industry, government, not-for-profits or other “Receptors” of genomics knowledge and tools. The program provides a unique opportunity for Receptor organizations to collaborate with an ’omics researcher, and to leverage their R&D investments with public funding.

Key Program Highlights:

• Budget: $300K – $6M (total)
• Co-funding: 1/3 Genome Canada (max), 1/3 Receptor (min), 1/3 Other
• Award duration: 1 – 3 years
• Stage: Downstream R&D/validation/pilot
• Funding recipient: Genome Canada award flows to academic partner only
