Phillips, Jeremy Rayner, Cami Ryan, Puja Sharma, Stuart Smyth. Value Addition through Genomics and GE³LS (VALGEN), was launched 1 October 2009, as an international research network. VALGEN was designed to support groundbreaking research on social aspects of bioscience and biotechnology innovation. Through the competition in Applied Genomics Research in Bioproducts or Crops (ABC) Genome Canada invested in 12 large-scale projects focused on applied genomics research in bioproducts and crops. The 12 projects had a total approved budget of C$112M. VALGEN, a four-year, $5.4M project was unique among these projects with its primary focus on ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social issues in genomics (GE3LS). The project and network was managed by Genome Prairie and administered through the University of Saskatchewan.
