Dear AgBioData members,
We, Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI), have three announcements to share:
1. AG2PI virtual field days are back! The next field day will be held February 21, 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (CST, UTC-6) and will highlight the "coconut" (large seed) grant projects led by Dr. Pankaj Jaiswal on plant stress ontology and by Dr. Seth Murray on building a more connected unmanned aerial systems (UAS) community. For more information and to register, visit https://www.ag2pi.org/workshops-and-activities/field-day-2024-02-21/.
1. Reminder: AG2PI is offering student conference travel grants up to $1500 to any* undergraduate and graduate students attending an institution in the US. Details and instructions to apply can be found on the AG2PI website (https://www.ag2pi.org/seed-grants/student-conference-travel-awards-2023-11-0...). These will be awarded on a rolling basis until all funds are committed, so apply soon! Application portal will close by June 1, 2024 and all travel must be completed by August 1, 2024. (*students must be engaged in AG2PI-related research, broadly, to apply)
1. A Request for Proposals has been released by USDA NIFA for FY2024 regarding the AG2PI program. There will be a NIFA Technical Assistance Webinar for the RFP on March 21, 2024. Registration details can be found here: https://www.nifa.usda.gov/events/technical-assistance-webinar-agricultural-g....
Please share this message with anyone you think might be interested in either of these opportunities.
Have a wonderful week, Nicole
