In July 2004, Genome Canada launched a third open competition - Competition III - in an effort to support high-level genomics and proteomics research. On 25 August 2005, it announced $346 million in awards to 33 projects lasting 3 to 4 years. Of these, ten projects and one technology platform were funded through OGI, with a total project value of $172.5 million (including $85 million in funding from Genome Canada).
