Technology Leadership: Genomics Stream 2025
Protein Industries Canada
Protein Industries Canada (PIC)’s vision is to position Canada as a leading global source of sustainable, high-quality plant protein and plant-based co-products, while substantially contributing to Canada’s economic growth and international trade. University of Manitoba is a member of PIC.
As part of the Technology Leadership program, PIC launched a call under their Genomics Stream that will support the commercialization of new and improved broad-acre crop varieties through the application of genomics tools in plant breeding and variety development.
The overall goal:
- meet industry demands by aligning the breeding objectives of growers and end-user processors with the utilization of genomics tools; and
- deliver value across the agriculture and agrifood value chain.
Please refer to the Technology Leadership program guide for eligible costs and applicable reimbursement rates. Maximum total project budget: $3M for four years.
