USDA, CSREES	National Research Initiative: Enhancing the Prosperity of Small Farms & Rural Agricultural Communities. This program fosters interdisciplinary studies to improve our understanding of the interactions between the economic, social, biological & environmental components important to small farms & rural economic development. Applicants should propose integrated research, education & extension projects that address small farms and/or rural agricultural communities. The program's priority areas are: (a) comparisons of approaches to environmental management & compliance related to the prosperity of rural communities and/or profitability of agricultural products; (b) analysis of the interactions that affect high return production, processing & delivery channels, & in turn, enhance profitability of small farms; (c) evaluation of the interplay between social, economic, biological & environmental factors that affect the adoption of new agricultural technology, management and/or foster rural agribusiness development; or (d) identification of emerging opportunities & threats for small to medium sized farms, & associated rural communities over the next 20 years.

USDA	Solicitation of Research Proposals - As in previous years, ARS and State scientists as well as industry representatives, will evaluate the proposals. Evaluation criteria will include, but not be restricted to, the following: --Nature of the proposed research and the need of this research to solve production and disease problems of the U.S. potato industry. --National priority of the proposed research. --Scientific expertise of the scientists involved and their training, experience, and accomplishments relative to specific areas of potato research. --Appropriateness of the level of funding requested to conduct the research. The level of indirect research cost charged by an institution is not a factor in the evaluation of the proposal and will not increase or decrease the probability of funding. --Appropriateness of the research approaches identified for each specific research objective. --The likelihood of the success of the research.

NIH	NIH invites applications for funding to support the development of vaccines, therapeutics, adjuvants and diagnostics for NIAID Category A, B and C priority pathogens and toxins. Approximately $35 million in FY 2006 funding is expected to be available for 20-25 awards. Eligible are for profit or non profit, public or private organizations.	Optional Letters of Intent are due September 12, 2005; applications are due October 12, 2005.
Bio-Technology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) - United Kingdom	In order to address the strategic requirements of both DFID and BBSRC, proposals should address scientific topics that are most relevant to the needs of sustainable agriculture in developing countries. The call will focus on generic research that creates new opportunities for rural livelihoods, food security, sustainable agriculture, and integrated natural resource management with specific relevance to problems of developing countries. The research will be crop orientated, but as well as food, will include fodder and dual-purpose crops in recognition of the central importance of livestock in farming communities and the burgeoning demand for livestock products by urban populations. The soil environment will also be included, with a view to enhancing soil fertility, overcoming soil physical constraints, and combating crop/soil safety issues. Application of innovative technologies will be welcomed, including use of biotechnology in crop improvement programmes. Broad themes can be envisaged, such as efficiency of crop production - linked to sustainability of agriculture and the impact of climate change on resilience of farming systems; reduction of crop losses due to biotic and abiotic interactions, including above and below ground pathogens and soil contamination by toxins; exploitation of local diversity in the development of new crops and in new uses for existing crops; and further development of multifunctional crop use and on-farm diversity to improve rural economies. Under these themes, research challenges that can be addressed include but are not limited to, - plant-pathogen interactions, - plant-pest interactions, - plant and crop responses to resource availability (including water and nutrients), - plant and crop responses to natural or artificial soil contamination (including increasing salinity), - crop post-harvest physiology related to storage, value added, and improved access to markets, and - development and improvement of crops for livestock production. A core ambition of all research projects must be to harness cutting-edge science for application by regional and national developing country researchers with the ultimate objective of providing appropriate (do-able) intervention mechanisms for use by resource poor farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program and the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association	The Pennsylvania Vegetable Marketing and Research Program in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association is soliciting proposals for research grants in 2007. The Vegetable Marketing and Research Board requests that researchers submit brief pre-proposals for their consideration this fall. Final selection of projects to be funded will be made early in 2007. Details are outlined in detail in the funding materials. Special priority will be given to projects involving the state's three major processing crops, namely snap beans, tomatoes, and sweet corn. However, consideration will also be given to projects involving fresh-market crops. The Boards of the two organizations have established this list. While projects addressing other research areas will be considered, projects addressing these areas will be given a higher priority in the funding process.	Pre-Proposals October 25, 2006
