DEADLINE: Genomics for Forest Resilience Initiative – Request for Partnership 2026

Australia’s forests are facing increasing pressures from climate change, invasive pests and habitat fragmentation. These ecosystems are home to ecologically important species and their long-term resilience is vital to Australia’s unique biodiversity, ecosystem services and environmental health.

Request for Partnership 2026

We are now calling for Requests for Partnership for projects aiming to generate high-quality reference genomes and species population data that will enhance the aims and goals of the Genomics for Forest Resilience Initiative.

Support provided

Bioplatforms Australia will provide the following resources:

• DNA extraction, where required
• Genomics data generation (whole genome sequencing) support through our network of facilities.
• Project management and data management (raw data storage and access, with associated metadata).
• The Genomics for Forest Resilience Initiative will also provide access to the required computing and analytical resources through the Australian BioCommons.
