Subject: AG2PI seed grant applications open!

Dear Colleagues and AG2PI Community Members,
A major goal of the Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI
<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/workshops-and-activities/conference-2021-02-24/. 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 AG2PI website. If you are unable to attend the live
session, then you will be able to find a recording at ag2pi.org/
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ag2pi.org_&d=DwMFA…>,
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 regarding the mini-conference or seed grants, please
direct them to Nicole Scott at nmscott(a)iastate.edu.
Kind regards,
Nicole
