A great deal of time and effort has gone into this submission, by all the researchers, industry collaborators and the FVGC team, and it is our hope that we will find success and approval for Cluster 4 funding. AAFC’s goal is to assess applications and send approval or rejection notification letters within 100 business days of receiving a complete application package – stay tuned for more information in May-June.
