Advancing Swine Research

Swine Innovation Porc (SIP), with support from the Pork Promotion and Research Agency (PPRA), is launching a new research funding call to drive innovation in the Canadian pork sector. This call seeks high-impact research projects that will improve the industry’s resilience, sustainability, and competitiveness.

This funding call supports collaborative, applied research that addresses key challenges in the Canadian pork industry. Projects should provide practical, science-based solutions that can be implemented by producers and industry stakeholders.

Two types of funding available:

• Discovery & Applied Research: Foundational and industry-driven research projects (up to $150,000 over three years).

• Short-Term "Quick Win" Projects: Pilot studies, proof-of-concept work, and economic impact assessments (typically under $50,000, completed within a year).
