UC SAREP/US-EPA Request for Proposals: Biologically Integrated Farming Systems Projects
The UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (SAREP), with support from US-EPA, has released a new Request for Proposals to fund Biologically Integrated Farming Systems (BIFS) projects in field crops, row crops, orchards, vineyards, or livestock. Proposals are due October 2, 2001.
SAREP expects to fund two or three new demonstration projects. Awards usually range from $65,000 to $100,000 per year for three-year projects. For complete guidelines on how to apply, see the full Request for Proposals or call 530-752-7556.
A BIFS proposal development workshop will be held in Davis, Calif., on August 15, 2001 from 1 to 4:30 p.m. to assist in the proposal development process. Workshop leaders will explain the BIFS program goals and how to create a "project logical framework." Though not required, attendance at the meeting is strongly recommended; a logical framework will be required for all proposals. Please contact SAREP at 530-752-7556 to reserve a space at this workshop.
For more information, please contact Marco Barzman (530-754-8548), or Bev Ransom (530-754-8546).
