Early Career Research Award

We are also pleased to offer a competitive $110,000 research bursary opportunity to the participants of the current and previous year that emphasizes collaboration and connections with industry. LRIC, Grand River Agricultural Society (GRAS), Western Fair Association (WFA), Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) and Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) have all contributed to create this award to support a research project or program that will foster and build knowledge and capacity in the Ontario livestock sector and contribute to cross sector and discipline research.

Funding decisions will be made by a selection committee of LRIC and stakeholder representatives. Proposals are due in early May, with the top five invited to make a presentation to the selection committee. The award(s) will be presented at the LRIC Annual Meeting.
