The 2011 ASHS Annual Conference
Integrated Organic Program Project Directors and Applicants Workshop
Integrated Organic Program Project Directors and Applicants Workshop
Objective(s):
This workshop is designed for both current project directors (PDs) for the Integrated Organic Program and potential applicants. The integrated Organic Program consists of two grant programs, the Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI) and the Organic Transitions Program (ORG). In 2010 these programs were funded at $20M and $5M, respectively. Speakers in this session will provide a brief overview of OREI and ORG, tips on grant writing and working with eXtension, and examples of successful projects in the areas of: organic fruit production; breeding for organic production; and weed and pest management in organic systems. A panel of successful PDs will discuss their ‘secrets’ for successful proposal writing, their best management practices for large multidisciplinary, multistate projects and how they have documented impact. Time will be allowed for questions and panel discussion.
