Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP)

by Maurice | February 5, 2023

Amount:

$2,000,000

Type of Program:

Grants


Description:

The Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP) funds downstream research and development (R&D) projects that address real world opportunities and challenges identified by industry, government, not-for-profits and other “Receptors” of genomics knowledge and technologies. GAPP projects are collaborations between academic researchers and Receptor organizations, and are co-funded by Genome Canada, Receptors and other stakeholders.

Comments on Funding:

Funding is up to 1/3 of the project budget from Genome Canada, from a minimum contribution of $100,000 to a maximum of $2 million.
The remaining project funding must be secured from other eligible sources, with at least 1/3 provided by the Receptor(s).
 


When It Ends:

Ongoing

Deadline:

Next deadlines to be determined

Eligibility:

Eligible projects must:

  • be co-led by an eligible Academic and Receptor organization in partnership, with active and necessary roles for both,
  • develop and apply a genomics-derived tool, product or process to an opportunity or need defined by the Receptor(s);
  • focus on late stage R&D that will position the innovation for near term implementation / commercialization;
  • have the potential to generate significant social and/or economic benefits for Canada.

The applicant is an academic researcher and he must be:

  • a faculty member of a Canadian university or affiliated, non-commercial entity, such as hospitals and research institutes,
  • researchers in not-for-profit corporations or registered charities may qualify as Academics for the purposes of GAPP if their organization has an explicit research mandate.

The Receptors must:

  • be organizations that intend to put the resulting innovation into practice (in internal operations, by commercialization, or otherwise making it available to its ultimate users),
  • be companies (private / public, Canadian / foreign-owned, including small or start up companies),
  • be industry consortia,
  • be government departments and agencies (federal, provincial and municipal),
  • be healthcare organizations,
  • be not-for-profit organizations,
  • have clear decision-making processes independent of the Academic Leader. 

Application Steps:

1

Applicants must submit their GAPP applications and the supporting documents via a regional Genome Centre.
They must contact their regional Genome Centre for more information.

Documentation Needed: 

Applicants must:

  • submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) which includes a summary of the proposed project and its value proposition,
  • “pitch” their project via teleconference to a panel of external industry and technical experts convened by Genome Canada, if invited to,
  • submit the Supplementary Proposal which provides a more thorough description of several sections of the EOI, including a detailed explanation of the technical aspects, project plan and budget, if invited.

Other Things to Note:

Genome Canada is again welcoming Expressions of Interest for the GAPP. Please contact your Regional Genome Centre for more information on the application process and timelines (June 2021).
