November 17, 2011 — Ottawa, Ontario
Minister of State Gary Goodyear today announced Phase V funding for the Genomics R&D Initiative (GRDI) at the Canadian Science Policy Conference in Ottawa.
The GRDI is an interdepartmental initiative, led by the National Research Council Canada, that supports evidence-based decision-making in the Government of Canada. GRDI-funded research supports the core public policy, regulatory and operational mandates of government. The initiative meets the government’s specific needs and is generating results in areas that are not being addressed by other genomics research in Canada.
