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
