A note on the Italy-Canada Joint Initiative

Notwithstanding the excellent work and significant progress to-date, Genome Canada will not proceed with the Italy-Canada Joint Initiative at this time. Genome Canada remains committed to this important and valuable process, and is confident that it will be able to proceed in due course.

April 2009

Dr. Martin Godbout, Genome Canada President & CEO and Dr. Giuseppe Martini, Director of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) Life Sciences Department, are pleased to launch a Joint International Call for Letters of Intent for joint research projects focusing on the application of genomics research in the area of human health. Genome Canada and the CNR are working to raise funds for this joint initiative. When funding becomes available, LOIs that fall within the areas defined in the call will be invited to submit full proposals for peer review.
