Applications Are Now Being Accepted for the 2025 Regional Knowledge Mobilization Initiatives Funding Program
The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is pleased to announce that the funding program for regional knowledge mobilization initiatives has been renewed, and applications are now being accepted. The application deadline is June 13, 2025, at 11:59 PM MT.
Funding is available for, but not limited to, events. The knowledge mobilization events eligible for funding must involve beef producers and be aligned with the Canadian Beef Research and Technology Transfer Strategy. While recurring event sponsorship is not eligible, innovative knowledge mobilization activities held independently or in conjunction with existing events will be considered.
Preference will be given to:
New and innovative engagement ideas such as presenting information in a new format or demonstrating a new technology
Workshops and tours related to water quality, water management and winter and summer water system choices and maintenance
Demonstrations and workshops on biosecurity practices for improved calf health outcomes and disease prevention
Demonstrations and workshops related to record-keeping for tracking herd genetic improvements, replacement heifer and bull selection and breeding cow management
Applicants may apply to receive up to a maximum of $5,000 in funding per activity. Matching funding is encouraged, but not a requirement. Funding will be awarded to proposals that most closely meet the evaluation criteria. Activities must be completed by May 31, 2026, unless rationale is provided for a later completion date.
Applications are to be submitted using the online form no later than June 13, 2025. Successful applicants will be notified via email by mid-August 2025.
