Description
This program, run by the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station, aims to empower faculty in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) at the University of Maryland to lead transformative, high-impact research, teaching, extension, or integrated projects. The program is specifically designed for proposals that bring significant funding or visibility to AGNR, involve broad collaboration across departments or institutions, and require administrative resources beyond what departments can typically provide. Awards include both financial incentives (up to $20,000) and substantial administrative support, enabling faculty to develop and submit large-scale, multidisciplinary, and often multi-institutional proposals that would otherwise be difficult to pursue.
