Description

U of G researchers are invited to attend one of four Town Hall program information sessions to learn about the application and online submission process for the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance (previously known as the OMAFRA/U of G Partnership) Tier I Funding Program. Researchers are encouraged to attend as there are significant changes to program priorities and processes this year. 

Town Hall program information sessions are open for all to attend and are not priority specific. There is no need to register for the Town Hall. Please see schedule of Town Hall and Discovery and Dialogue Meeting dates and locations below.

Full Proposals for the current Research Call are due at noon on November 26, 2019 with Intent information due on November 6, 2019.

Discovery and Dialogue meetings will follow each of the four general Town Hall sessions. Researchers are invited to discover and dialogue with OMAFRA staff and other researchers on the topic of Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance Tier I funding applications.
