Advancing Swine Research

Swine Innovation Porc (SIP), with support from the Pork Promotion and Research Agency (PPRA), has opened the Advancing Swine Research Call for Proposals to support high-impact research that strengthens the resilience, sustainability and competitiveness of Canada’s pork sector.​

The call is designed to use sector investment as a catalyst, bringing together research expertise and funding from partners and other programs to advance solutions to priority challenges facing Canadian pork production.

Discovery or Applied Research Projects: Core or early-stage research and applied research. Comprehensive projects addressing key priority topics will normally not exceed $150,000 over three years.​

Short-Term Projects: "Quick win" initiatives such as economic impact studies, proof-of-concept projects, pilot studies, best management practices, and knowledge translation or demonstration projects. These are expected to have a timeline of one year or less, with smaller projects normally under $50,000.
