Genome Alberta is partnering with Alberta Agriculture on the Alberta Applied Agricultural Genomics Program. The program will provide funding for genomics-based research projects up to $250,000 over a period of two years.
Research proposals participating in larger national or international efforts are strongly encouraged.
For example, understanding stress response of crops at the genomic level offers a better understanding of adaptation strategies, while biomarker-informed breeding programs provide the strategy for delivering the appropriate traits to the right regions in support of a healthy ecosystem.
