Southern SARE Invites Proposals

Southern Region SARE invites proposals for the next round of Research and Education grants, Professional Development Program grants for agricultural educators and Graduate Student grants.

Proposals are due in June and must be submitted through an online template. Obtain all calls for proposals at http://www.southernsare.org

The Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (Southern SARE) recently awarded more than $2 million in grants for 2008. The grants, distributed through six different programs, ranged in amounts of $230,000 for university-based research about internal parasites in small ruminants to less than $7,000 for a producer experiment managing manure composts.

Later this year calls for proposals will be released for the Producer Grants, On-Farm Research Grants and Sustainable Community Grants.
