USDA Proposals to Address Pre-harvest Control of Aflatoxin. The occurrence of aflatoxin in food continues to be viewed as a potential threat to the food supply by the FDA, the American public and world markets for our exported commodities. The levels that cause regulatory concern are continually being lowered and it is difficult to produce commodities free of these exceedingly small amounts of aflatoxin. Thus it is necessary to develop methods that will prevent aflatoxin development in susceptible crops. Recognizing this, the Congress appropriated funds for ARS research to prevent pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination. Some of these funds are to be used for specific cooperative agreements with appropriate institutions to augment existing agency aflatoxin research. January 15, 2005

Paul C. and Edna H. Warner Endowment Fund

Fund for Sustainable Agriculture - Interdisciplinary Grant Program for On-Farm Research 2005 Call for Proposals. The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) and the Sustainable Agriculture Program are offering an interdisciplinary grant program to promote on-farm research in sustainable agriculture. This program is made available through the Paul C. and Edna H. Warner Endowment Fund established specifically for on-farm research in sustainable agriculture related to crop (agronomic and horticultural) and animal production systems, that are ultimately intended for human consumption. 

Sustainable agriculture is characterized by:

·        --Practices and values that promote environmental stewardship and conservation of resources

·        --Long-term economic viability of farms and rural communities, and

·        --Preservation of the quality of life for farm families and support for rural communities.

 

Research is intended to identify and publicize sustainable agricultural practices and systems that are profitable, energy efficient and improve water quality and other environmental concerns relevant to Ohio farmers.

USDA - Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program - National Integrated Food Safety Initiative CSREES requests applications for the Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program – National Integrated Food Safety Initiative for fiscal year 2006 to support integrated, multifunctional agricultural research, extension, and education activities that address food safety priorities in the United States.

The purpose of the National Integrated Food Safety Initiative is to support food safety projects that demonstrate an integrated approach to solving problems in applied food safety research, education, or extension. The National Integrated Food Safety Initiative requests integrated research, education, and extension applications that address a broad spectrum of food safety concerns – from on-farm production, post-harvest processing, and distribution, to food selection, preparation, and consumption. Various models for integration of applied research, education, and extension will be considered for funding. Applications describing multi-state, multi-institutional, multidisciplinary, and multifunctional activities (and combinations thereof) are encouraged. Applicants are strongly encouraged to assemble project teams that include those with expertise in research, extension, and/or education. All members of the project team should be involved in the development and writing of the application. For tips on developing integrated grant applications, applicants may visit http://www.csrees.usda.gov/nea/food/pdfs/tipsheet.pdf on the web.

The National Integrated Food Safety Initiative creates opportunities for new collaborations between individuals and institutions in an effort to address problems in new ways and/or improve communication with high risk, under-served, or hard-to-reach audiences. In order to fully realize these potential benefits, CSREES strongly encourages applicants to develop applications describing integrated activities that include collaboration with 1890 Land-Grant Institutions, 1994 Land-Grant Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and/or other institutions that serve high risk, under-served, or hard-to-reach populations. Collaborations with local, state, and/or Federal governments, professional associations, public or private organizations, and/or international entities are also strongly encouraged.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to address at least two of the three functional areas of research, education, and extension (i.e., research and extension, research and education, or extension and education).

Ohio Fruit Grower's Society Requests for Research Proposals.
The goal of the Ohio Fruit Growers Society (OFGS) is to improve the fruit industry and the lives of our grower members. The OFGS believes that practical, applied research is a vital link in improving fruit quality and productivity.  In 1989, members approved a change in OFGS membership classes to increase their emphasis on fruit research and to increase research donations. The OFGS research committee works very closely with the Ohio Vegetable and Small Fruit Research and Development Program (OVSFRDP), which also funds important small fruit research. Worthy projects that OFGS is unable to fund may be recommended to this organization for its consideration. If you are seeking matching OVSFRDP funds, make that very clear in your proposal.
