Genome Atlantic launches Small-Scale Climate Change Fund

NOTE: This opportunity has expired or is an event which has already taken place.

Atlantic Canada faces unique and difficult challenges as climate change progresses. This targeted funding opportunity is intended to support short term, rapid initiatives which will advance identification, development and/or adoption of genomics tools that lead to solutions that help to combat climate change.

The goal for this program is to provide a foundation for Atlantic Canadian stakeholders to pursue subsequent larger scale Climate Change funding initiatives, such as Genome Canada’s anticipated flagship mission.

The Small-Scale Climate Change Fund is led by Genome Atlantic, in partnership with Research Nova Scotia.
