Funding-USDA- Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE); June 3, 2013

 

Description

 

The Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Professional Development Program (PDP) is requesting pre-proposals for projects of one to two year(s) duration that provide training on sustainable agriculture for agricultural professionals and educators who serve farmers and other interested people in USDA’s southern region.  This region includes: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

 

The PDP program generally funds 4-6 training projects per year.  The PDP program is inviting pre-proposals focused on training trainers in each state/protectorate in the Southern SARE region to help limited resource farmers/ranchers understand how to apply for and participate in Federal and State sustainable agricultural programs available to them.  This is not simply to educate on what programs are available, but to develop trainers, who can teach how to fill out the necessary documents, determine eligibility, and teach what each program provides for in terms of fundable activities.  The training should also teach how each program determines who receives funding.  

 

Closing Date: June 3, 2013- required pre-proposal
