Sponsor/Award: ONTARIO GENOMICS INSTITUTE - DISRUPTIVE INNOVATIONS IN GENOMICS - PHASE 2 - 2015 PHASE 2 | FULL APPLICATION

Internal: Oct 15, 2015
Sponsor's: Oct 22, 2015

Subject Areas: Genomics
Description:

The major objective of this RFA is to support the development of disruptive innovation in the field of genomics, which for the purpose of this RFA is defined as a new genomics-based technology or the application of an existing technology from another field, applied to the field of genomics, that is truly transformative in that it has the potential to either displace an existing technology, disrupt an existing market or create a new market. A disruptive innovation offers the capability to do things not previously possible and is not an incremental improvement of an existing technology.

This competition aims to support projects focused on prototype development and will support the development of a prototype (process, product and/or method) advancing the "idea".

Application Details:

All applicants must demonstrate, with supporting evidence, the potential for the innovation to be disruptive, have impact within the technology space, and eventually benefits to Canada. In addition, Phase 2 projects must have clear deliverables that will be realized by the end of the project and a plan which explains the next steps of how the deliverables from the research will be transferred, disseminated, used, and/or applied to realize the benefits.

Researchers in Ontario intending to submit an application are strongly encouraged to contact OGI to discuss details of the competition such as the scope, the application process, and co-funding requirements. Please refer to the RFA for full details.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT APPLICABLE
