Graduate Student Funding-NC-SARE
by Lee, Linda S 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Subject: Graduate Student Funding-NC-SARE All... My apologies for not sending sooner... Just wanted to let you know of the availability of funding from North Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NC-SARE) for graduate students who have an interest in the area of Sustainable Agriculture...The term "Sustainable Agriculture" can have a very broad definition... While time is short ...there may be some who have a proposal pretty well developed already who may have time to apply... Please feel free to forward to any in your department who may have an interest...I would sure like to see an increase in the share of funding increase to Indiana applicants. Please have anyone who expresses an interest contact me if I can be of assistance. Thank you! Roy Ballard http://www.sare.org/ncrsare/grad.htm Graduate Student Grants Available NCR-SARE funds Graduate Student grants in Sustainable Agriculture for projects that address sustainable agriculture issues and are part of the student's degree program. NCR-SARE instituted the Graduate Student grant program in 2002 for officially registered graduate students (Masters and Ph.D.) enrolled at accredited colleges or universities. Projects must benefit agriculture in the North Central Region.NCR-SARE awards grant funds for grad student projects up to $10,000, and projects may last up to three years. A candidate may receive only one NCR-SARE Graduate Student award during her or his graduate student career. Roughly $150,000 in funding has been awarded annually, for a total of about 15 grants per year. The Graduate Student Review Committee evaluates proposals for their technical merit and relevancy. The Committee forwards its recommendations to the NCR-SARE Administrative Council, which makes the award selections. Funded proposals have contributed to farmer or rancher profitability, environmental quality, and the enhancement of the quality of life of farmers or ranchers, rural communities, and society as a whole. NCR-SARE strongly encourages students to involve farmers and ranchers in their Graduate Student Grant projects. The deadline for 2011 Graduate Student Grant Proposals is Thursday, January 27, 2011.
