Seeding
Solutions RFA is coming soon – March 1,
2019!
The
Foundation for
Food and Agriculture
Research
(FFAR) is seeking pre-proposals for
our
Seeding
Solutions 2019 funding
opportunity.
The Seeding Solutions grants encourage
the development of unique partnerships to support
innovative – and potentially
transformative – research focused in our
Challenge
Areas.
For
Seeding Solutions 2019, FFAR anticipates funding
at least one proposal in each of our six
newly updated Challenge Areas. This year,
FFAR will prioritize funding projects that both
demonstrate strong partnerships, and have
the potential for significant
agricultural advancements through innovation and
new technologies. 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 in March 1, 2019.
Please
note that the Seeding Solutions’ 2019 Request for
applications will be available soon on the
FFAR
website.
FFAR
awarded nearly $8 million to innovative projects
during the 2017 Seeding Solutions program,
which when matched, invested $16.6
million in agricultural research and innovation.
We will be announcing the 2018 Seeding
Solutions awardees soon, and are excited
to further support agricultural research through
Seeding Solutions 2019!
