The USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture is accepting applications for projects that will enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Priority concerns include biological, physical, and social sciences, including economics. The OREI is particularly interested in projects that emphasize research and outreach that assist farmers and ranchers with whole farm planning and ecosystem integration. Projects should plan to deliver applied production information to producers. The deadline is February 16, 2010, and full guidelines for the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative are available here.
Eligible entities include colleges and universities; other research institutions and organizations; private organizations or corporations; and individuals who are United States citizens or nationals, as well as other agencies.
