On July 19, 2001, Genome Canada announced the beginning of a second national competition (Competition II) aimed at funding several large-scale genomics research projects and their related science and technology platforms. Results for Competition II were announced during the first week of April 2002 - and $155.5 million was invested in 34 innovative and exciting research projects with application in health, forestry, agriculture, bioinformatics, technology development, the environment and GE3LS.
