What it does

Genomics Research and Development Initiative (GRDI) Shared Priority Projects (SPPs) support interdepartmental genomics research at federal government laboratories (AAFC, CFIA, DFO, ECCC, HC, NRC, NRCan and PHAC) so that collectively, in collaboration with industry and academia, they can better deliver high impact solutions relevant to issues of importance to Canadians, including protecting and improving human health, protecting the environment, sustainably managing agricultural and natural resources, and promoting economic growth. Each SPP, which addresses a challenge or need relevant to the mandate of two or more of the GRDI departments and agencies, aims primarily to support federal government evidence-based decision-making, policy development, formulation of standards and regulations, and delivery of federal laboratory services.

History and lineage

First appears in the Departmental Plans in 2020-21. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).

No earlier or later program in the same department has a similar name.

Significant changes in scope and budget

Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.

No significant changes detected.

In order to comply with public health measures associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, Genomics Research and Development Initiative Shared Priority Projects federal departments have had to restrict on-site activities to focus on pandemic response priority projects, thus cancelling or postponing many activities, which has impacted the number of technical reports and standardized operating procedure…
