On Wednesday Oct 10th at 10am come to QNC 1506 to hear Ontario Genomics give information on their upcoming Ontario regional Priorities Partnership Program (RP3).
Ontario Genomics (OG) is partnering with the Agricultural Adaptation Council (AAC) and Genome Canada (GC) to deliver ON-RP3. This regionally-focused program will be an open funding competition for Proof-of Concept (PoC)-stage projects that will deliver genomics-derived solutions for industry-identified challenges and opportunities within the Ontario agriculture and agri-food sector (AAF). To ensure maximum impact, eligible research topics will be focused on the priority areas identified in the sector strategy report, Genomics for Agriculture & Agri-Food: Ontario’s Strategic Opportunity (available on Ontario Genomics website, here).
The information session will include an overview of the program, and a chance to answer any questions, followed by the opportunity to meet individually with those interested in applying. Alternatively, OG is happy to follow-up individually with those interested applicants that can’t stay after the info session but would like to chat (phone/in-person) at another time.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
