Subject: AG2PI seed grant applications open!

Dear Colleagues, A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome
Initiative (https://ag2pi.org/) is to bring together agricultural scientists
across disciplines to work together in addressing shared challenges in
genome-to-phenome. As such, we have launched a seed grant program to foster
first steps towards the development of community solutions to research
needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and
data management.
The AG2PI seed grant program aims to fund around six (6) awards, each up
to $20,000. Applications will be due by 5pm CST on Friday, March 19th. The
anticipated start date for funded projects is May 15, 2021 and each project
may be 6-12 months in duration. Further details regarding the request for
proposals, application and review can be found at the AG2PI website
(https://ag2pi.org).
AG2PI will be hosting a Seed Grant Conference on February 24 from
10:30am-12:30pm CST. This conference will provide an overview of the seed
grant mechanism, examples of how seed grants have improved or advanced a
scientific endeavor or community and will provide an opportunity to ask
questions regarding the seed grants. Additionally, there will be a “teaming”
event which will create the virtual space to discuss your seed grant idea
with like-minded researchers with whom you may want to work. For the full
conference agenda, please see the “Workshops & Activities” page of the
AG2PI website.
We invite you to register for this mini-conference at
https://www.ag2pi.org/...021-02-24/.
Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information
about joining the meeting. A link to join the meeting will also be provided
the day of the event on the
applewebdata://C818C7A4-7544-42AD-B2A9-29A247319CA8/ag2pi.org. If you are
unable to attend the live session, then you will be able to find a recording
at https://www.ag2pi.org/...hops-and-activities/ at a later date. Space
IS limited, so register soon.
Feel free to share this message with colleagues at your institution. If you
have any questions, please direct them to Nicole Scott at nmscottiastate.edu.
Kind regards,
Nicole
