Ontario Genomics, formerly the Ontario Genomics Institute, is a not-for-profit organization that manages genomics research projects and platforms. Ontario Genomics is funded by the Ontario government and the federal research funding agency Genome Canada.

## History

Ontario Genomics was established in 2000, following a landmark decision by the Canadian Government to support the science of genomics.[citation needed]

Since its inception, Ontario Genomics has:

* Raised more than $1 billion for genomics research in Ontario and directly supported 7300 R&D jobs
* Secured over $375 M federal Genome Canada funds, $103 M provincial (Ministry of Research Innovation and Science) co-funding, and $180 M direct industry investments for Ontario genomics research programs.
* Brought 16 genomics companies to the “investor-ready” stage and helped secure $197 M follow on funding. These companies created 289 private sector jobs and generated $56.3 M in revenue.[citation needed]
