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.
