For Researchers

Research Program

Each year the Alberta Barley Commission accepts applications for funding for research of interest to Alberta barley producers. Through the research program, the Commission fosters development of new and improved technologies by initiating and co-ordinating research on barley industry projects in the areas of production, processing, marketing and product development.

Research Priorities

This year, the Alberta Barley Commission has introduced some guidance on particular areas of interest to the Commission (see Guidance for New Project Proposals). This list is meant to complement the important areas that are already being addressed by the Commission (e.g., NIR, barley breeding, etc...). These subjects are intended only as a guide for researchers submitting new proposals, whether through the Funding Consortium or directly to the Commission. Researchers are invited to submit proposals on other topics, as well, and can rest assured that full consideration will be given to each submission.

The research priorities determined by the Barley Development Council are taken into consideration when evaluating research proposals.
