On 19 July 2001, Genome Canada launched Competition II to fund large-scale projects in genomics research and related science and technology platforms. Results were announced in April 2002, with $155.5 million going to 34 projects with applications in agriculture, bioinformatics, the environment, forestry, GE3LS, health, and technology development. Thirteen of these received funding through OGI and were worth $121.1 million (including $59 million in funding from Genome Canada).
