Hello RosEXEC,
There were three people that had a slight time problem so if it is OK with
the rest of you we'll start 45 min later. So same date (Monday June 2) but
at 4:15 PM.
I will log on at 3:30 PM just in case someone does not get this Email or if
someone needs to communicate something to the group but cannot make it at
the later time - trying to be as accommodating as possible. I appreciate
your patience and service.
Below are the instructions for logging in to the conference system - they
have not changed from last time. Talk to you then.
All the best, Gennaro

Dear RosEXEC committee members,
There is an opportunity to pick a low hanging fruit as a result of the
recently passed Farm bill. We should have a plan to submit to this program
whatever the fate of the RoseCAP may be. Cameron and I are calling an
'urgent' meeting of RosEXEC to discuss this possibility. All of you have
the access phone number from last time but I will circulate again once we
have a set time. I am proposing Friday 3:30 PM Eastern, Monday 3:30 PM
Eastern or Tuesday 3:30 PM Eastern for our call. Can you reply quickly with
your response and I will send out an Email confirmation ASAP.
All the best,
Gennaro

Subject: SCRI Funding Opportunity on the Horizon
Dear U.S. ASHS Members,
As I'm sure you're all aware, Congress recently passed the Farm Bill, and it
was sent to the White House yesterday, May 20. Although there is a veto
threat by the Administration, the Bill passed both sides of the Hill with
enough votes for an override if vetoed. ASSUMING the Bill is vetoed and
subsequently overridden (or signed into law) in the very near future, there
will be $30 MILLION in the Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) that
would have to be obligated by SEPTEMBER 30, 2008.
Attached to this communication is the CSREES document that explains the SCRI
in full. Broadly, the SCRI puts strong emphasis on COLLABORATIVE TEAMS
solving SYSTEMS-BASED problems of "producer-to consumer" systems. Again, the
document explains in full detail the initiative, and gives examples of
project types that might be appropriate for this funding, and a partial list
of priorities in five focus areas identified by USDA.
Because of the tight timeline IF and when the Bill becomes law, I would
suggest that you start thinking about projects now and "think big" (project
funding of $1 million or more)?i.e., build your collaborative teams that
would allow you to be competitive for grant types in that funding range. I
would further suggest that the?key words you should keep in mind for this
endeavor include "plant breeding, automation, sensors, robotics"--all of the
industry-based strategic plans that have been developed recently include
these terms.
Your Society is pleased to be able to offer you early notice of this
opportunity. Remember that until the Bill becomes law, this money does not
exist. But if and when it does, there will be a very tight timeline for
projects to be submitted for review (think early August at the latest).
While the original proposed funding numbers you will read in the document
did not end up at those levels in the final Farm Bill, horticulture and
specialty crops ultimately fared well in the Bill. There will be $50 million
per year in the SCRI program for FY 2009?2012. But the $30 million available
this year will "disappear" if not obligated by September 30, 2008!
If you're interested, start thinking about projects now. ASHS will keep you
informed as any information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Mike Neff

for projects to be submitted for review (think early August at the
latest).
While the original proposed funding numbers you will read in the
document did not end up at those levels in the final Farm Bill,
horticulture and specialty crops ultimately fared well in the Bill.
There will be $50 million per year in the SCRI program for FY 2009?2012.
But the $30 million available this year will "disappear" if not
obligated by September 30, 2008!
If you're interested, start thinking about projects now. ASHS will keep
you informed as any information becomes available.
Sincerely,
Mike Neff
