FUNDING-FFAR – Seeding Solutions; April 18, 2018

 

Agency

 

Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR)

 

Description

FFAR seeks to encourage the development of unique partnerships to support innovative and potentially transformative research. FFAR anticipates funding at least one meritorious proposal in each of our seven Challenge Areas. The Challenge Areas are:

• Food Waste and Loss
• Healthy Soils, Thriving Farms
• Innovation Pathway to Sustainability
• Making “My Plate” Your Plate
• Protein Challenge
• Water Scarcity
• Urban Food Systems

 

We encourage applicants to reach out to the managing Scientific Program Director for their Challenge Area of interest to hone their ideas prior to submitting a pre-proposal. FFAR continues to seek and develop partnerships and projects, but this is an opportunity for the community to bring FFAR innovative ideas and unique partnerships to solve intractable challenges in food in agriculture. Proposals may be new projects or expansions of ongoing projects. If a request is to expand an ongoing research project, the request must adequately explain why additional funding will enhance innovation or accelerate the project. A minimum one-to-one funding match from non-federal sources is required.

 

Closing Date:
