2011 Systems Science Grantsmanship Workshop

USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture in cooperation with University of Tennessee AgResearch
Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 8:30 - 4:00 EDT
Knoxville, Tennessee OR Webcast live

The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program (SARE), the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI), and the Integrated Organic Program (Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) and Organic Transitions (ORG)) within the National Institute of Food and Agriculture require that applicants use a systems approach to meet challenges faced by producers and consumers. The directors of these programs, in partnership with the University of Tennessee, are offering a one-day, national workshop on the preparation and management of competitively-awarded, systems-based grant applications.

Talks from the previous two years' presentations are available at:
Washington State, 2010 and Cornell, 2009

This year we will cover a number of new topics and revisit some key themes from last year with new speakers that offer perspectives and case studies on: project evaluation, systems integration, engaging stakeholders, plugging into existing communities of practice, and a review of project directors' experiences and insights.

The program will be hosted in Knoxville, and will be available in two formats, both of which are free, but REQUIRE REGISTRATION: http://agresearch.tennessee.edu/nifa/default.asp

In-person on the UT Institute of Agriculture campus
Webcast live, and archived for post-workshop viewing

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
