Research Funding

The next cure for an untreatable disease or improvement in a plant's ability to tolerate drought is now an idea in a scientist's mind.

 

Our research grant programs start with that seed of an idea and put it to the test. Successful results may yield additional funding from federal agencies and other groups.

 

Sometimes, it takes multiple disciplines - biology and engineering, for example - or a company/university partnership to solve a specific problem. Or a piece of state-of-the-art equipment is needed to execute the right experiment.

 

We help with that too.

 

Our grants are competitive and go through external peer review. Details on the individual programs and general information can be found on our frequently asked questions page. 

 

In support of the Center's AgBiotech Initiative, we encourage submissions that have an ag biotech focus for all of our research, economic development and education grant programs.
