Genomic Applications Partnership Program (GAPP)

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.

• Genome Canada is a catalyst for developing and applying genomics for the benefit of Canadians. Genome Canada builds bridges between government, academia and industry to forge a genomics-based public-private innovation enterprise focused on key life science sectors (human health, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, energy, mining, and environment). Genome Canada and the regional Genome Centers have made significant investments in large-scale genomics1 research and leading-edge technologies which has allowed Canada to become a leader in the field of genomics.
• The GAPP aims to: promote the application of genomics-derived solutions to address key sector challenges or opportunities facing Users - User “pull”; promote commercialization of genomics technologies by enabling the transfer of genomics-derived solutions from Academia to Users as well as de-risking and incentivizing follow-on investment from public and private partners; increase the socio-economic impact of genomics research by accelerating its translation to application or market; and, create and foster a more productive interface between Academia and Users.
