Research proposals may address one or multiple of the topics above. As an example, “Improving Nutritional Factors of Pulses through Breeding and Crop Management”, would address three priorities. Transdisciplinary plans of work that reach across disciplines, expertise, and institutions are encouraged and expected. The committee will recognize projects that address a complex research challenge with a non-reductionist, integrated approach.
The average award amount is approximately $30,000 with awards ranging from $16,000-$75,000. The USADPLC strategic plan prioritizes the decision-making process for funding. Research proposals for equipment purchases above $10,000 will not be considered in this call for proposals and any equipment requests below $10,000 will be considered on a case by case basis. Please note there are specific instructions for variety trial proposals especially in regards to the proposal budget and reporting.
The Research Committee reviewing proposals is interested in projects that may increase research funding through matching dollars. Researchers are encouraged to submit proposals that use industry funding to gain matching funding for research via USDA grants or other special funding.
