CPRC Call for Letters of Intent 2022
Description
CPRC made changes for the 2016 call and will maintain these changes for the 2022 call. The research categories previously used were unable to accommodate some new initiatives in poultry research (i.e.: climate change, smart agriculture, precision agriculture). The CPRC Board of Directors decided that the ad hoc category that was originally designed to fill these gaps was not as effective as it has been in the past. The Board established a three-category approach for the call designed to accommodate both ongoing research issues and respond to evolving areas of research. Specific priority areas and desired research outcomes, most included in the 2012 National Research Strategy for Canada’s Poultry Sector, have been identified within the categories. The 2022 call for LOIs encompasses the three categories and their priorities that are identified below.

- Industry impact: The proposal must identify how the work will benefit the poultry industry, especially in terms of helping industry reach its research target outcomes, and should outline any additional potential social and/or economic benefits that will be realized in Canada.
- Knowledge transfer and commercialization: The proposal should describe how outcomes of the work will be shared with the research community and how it might be utilized by industry, including suggestions on how the resulting technology might be commercialized.
- Collaboration among scientists and institutions is encouraged and will be a consideration during the review process.
