The Canadian Poultry Research Council (CPRC) has been coordinating research investments and building capacity for Canadian poultry research since 2001. CPRC has supported 175 poultry research projects with funding for more than 80 researchers at Canadian universities and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research centres. This research commitment has resulted in a $65 million investment in Canadian poultry research through funding partnerships with CPRC, federal and provincial governments, universities and industry. A key part of CPRC’s funding process is to help secure matching funds to significantly expand the impact of its research investment, resulting in CPRC funding being leveraged to deliver a more than 5:1 ratio of return.
Chicken Farmers of Canada is a proud founding member of CPRC and this partnership is a great way to increase the impact of our research investments. CFC is represented on the CPRC Board of Directors by Ray Nickel from British Columbia, who also sits as the Chair of CPRC.
