Dear AnGenMap Members,
A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is to
bring together agricultural scientists from multiple disciplines to work
together in addressing shared challenges in genome-to-phenome research and
related endeavors. As such, we have launched a seed grant program to foster
first steps towards the development of community solutions to research
needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and the
data management pipeline.
This second round of the AG2PI seed grant program aims to fund around
twelve (12) awards across three levels of support: Emerging (funds up to
$20,000), Enabling (up to $50,000), and Establishing (up to $75,000).
Applications will be due by 11:59pm CDT on Sunday, September 19th. The
anticipated start date for funded projects is November 29, 2021 and each
project may be 6-15 months in duration, depending on the funding level.
Further details regarding the request for proposals, application and review
can be found at the AG2PI website ( https://www.ag2pi.org/seed-grants/).
AG2PI will be, again, hosting a Seed Grant Conference on August 12. This
conference will provide an overview of our revised seed grant mechanism,
examples of projects from the three new focus areas and will provide an
opportunity to ask questions regarding the seed grants. Additionally, there
will be a “teaming” event which will provide a virtual space to discuss
your seed grant idea with like-minded researchers with whom you may want to
work. Additional details will be available on our “Workshops &
Activities” page as we continue to plan this event.
Feel free to share this message and opportunity with colleagues at your
institution. If you have any questions regarding the mini-conference or
seed grants, please direct them to Nicole Scott at nmscottiastate.edu.
Kind regards,
Nicole
