a wenner-gren grantee may apply for the engaged anthropology grant ($5,000 maximum) upon completion of the final reporting requirements for the dissertation fieldwork or post-ph.d. research grant.

this grant is designed to enable grantees to return to their research locale to share their research results with:

• the community  in which the research was conducted, and/or
• the academic/anthropological community in the region or country of research.

the genomic applications partnership program (gapp) funds downstream research and development (r&d) projects that address real world opportunities and challenges defined by “receptor” organizations such as industry, government, or not-for-profit entities. these organizations should be committed to commercializing or implementing the outcomes of the project.

projects are led by the receptor organization (canadian or international) but are active collaborations with a canadian academic researcher. these projects are co-funded by receptors and other stakeholders and must have the potential to generate significant social and/or economic benefits for canada.

the gapp aims to:

• accelerate the application of canadian genomics-derived solutions from academia to real-world opportunities and challenges defined by industry, not-for-profit and public-sector receptors.
• channel canada’s genomics capacity into sustainable innovations that benefit canadians.
• enhance the value of canadian genomics technologies by de-risking and incentivizing follow-on investment from industry and other partners.
• foster mutually beneficial collaboration and knowledge exchange between canadian academia and technology receptors.
