May 6, 2014 - Ottawa, Ontario
The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced that the Department’s National Contaminants Advisory Group will be posting a Call for Proposals on the Departmental website today.
The objective of the Call for Proposals is to support academic research that will enhance the Department’s scientific knowledge on the biological effects of contaminants relevant to DFO’s programs and priorities, and therefore research proposals must directly address their effect on fish and other aquatic species. The proposal submission deadline is June 3rd, 2014.
Later this fiscal year, depending on the results of the current process and other emerging priorities, DFO will work on establishing other partnerships related to contaminant research.
