Dear Colleagues,
The RosCAP Team Guidance Committee would like to thank you for your
efforts in organizing teams and preparing pre-proposals in such a short
time frame. We received a total of 8 proposals (3 malus, 2 fragaria, 2
prunus, 1 Rosoideae) that span a wide range of crops, traits, and
approaches. We do not view this as a competitive process and our goal
is to include as many teams and as many aspirations as possible into the
final RosCAP proposal. Our sincere hope is that all (or aspects of all)
can be included. After an initial review, we will be contacting the
team leaders for further discussions.
Best Regards,
RosCAP Team Guidance Committee

Chris, here is a pdf. of the CAP portion of the NRI RFA. Please send
it to all so that they can see the emphasis. Also note that the amount
is 5 million for 4 years but that these are envisioned to be
continuation type projects with continued funding. Bert
Dear Rosaceae Community,
Bert Abbott recently met with Debbie Sheely and Ed Kaleikau
regarding a RosCAP proposal and received some very positive feedback:
"When questioned about whether this was the right time for a CAP
proposal from our community, I was given the distinct impression that we
were in the right place at the right time. With the farm bill emphasis
on specialty crops, Ed felt that this was indeed very timely."
The deadline for the RosCAP letter of intent is closing fast (November
26th) and we need volunteers to quickly move the RosCAP forward. The
RosCAP Proposal Guidance Committee has put together a list of committees
and their tasks which must be accomplished ASAP. Activities include
refinement of the education and extension components, schemes for marker
development and marker-trait associations, as well as plans for web
portal development and bioinformatics. For most of the committees we
still need co-chairs in addition to volunteers willing to serve as
committee members. If you previously volunteered at the Rosaceae
Planning Meeting and your name is already listed, please confirm your
willingness to participate. Your participation will be essential for a
successful RosCAP proposal and would be greatly appreciated by all.
Please contact Cameron Peace (cpeace(a)wsu.edu) or Chris Dardick (
chris.dardick(a)ars.usda.gov) if you would like to volunteer and indicate
which committee(s) and whether or not you are willing to serve as a
co-chair.
Thank You,
RosCAP Proposal Guidance Committee
