Information Session Sector Innovation Program
August 1, 2024 - 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
The Sector Innovation Program (SIP) aims to support strategically important genomics research with long-term potential to address the needs and challenges of key sectors in BC’s economy and society.
Each intake of the program has a specific strategic focus. The focus of this intake (SIP8) is to support genomics research related to the impacts of climate change on human health. Climate change is already negatively impacting human health in many ways, and health risks are predicted to increase as global warming continues. Higher temperatures, shifts in precipitation patterns, more frequent and intense heat waves, and weather events deprive people of clean air, fresh water, a safe food supply, and can influence the prevalence and distribution of infectious diseases.
This session will provide an overview of Sector Innovation Program Guidelines, how to apply for Intake 08 and answer any questions you may have.
