Intermountain Research and Extension Center (IREC): Proposals Due January 9, 2004

Intermountain Research and Extension Center (IREC) in Tulelake is soliciting proposals for new and continuing research projects for calendar year 2004.

The Intermountain Research and Extension Center is a 140-acre research facility located at 4,000 feet elevation near the Oregon border. The center specializes in potato, small grain, onion, and forage research; however, most cool season field and vegetable crops can be accommodated and grown on the center. Land, crop cultural management, and field plot assistance are available to UC researchers with approved center projects. Specific issues of regional importance include: water quantity and quality, alternative pest control methods and development of alternative crops and/or markets.

IREC provides labor, equipment, facilities and technical support to UC academics and to personnel from cooperating agencies. Grants of center-provided labor to support approved projects are awarded annually.

Proposals are due January 9, 2004. Proposals should be 2-3 pages in length. Researchers are encouraged to provide detail sufficient to weigh projects against competing proposals. Copies of the required forms are available to download from the Intermountain Research and Extension Center's Web site.

For more information about research support or facilities contact Harry Carlson at (530) 667-2719. For forms or information on electronic submission, contact Linda Woodley (530) 667-5117.
