Description
The Agricultural Research Foundation’s Competitive Grants Program supports research studies at Oregon State University that enhance Oregon’s agricultural productivity, improve the quality of its produce and products, and promote wise management and use of natural resources. Its scope includes air, water, watersheds, forests, fisheries, and wildlife.
The program makes catalytic grants to help young scientists launch their research and established scientists pursue new research directions or approaches. ARF awards money annually from its general operations fund for new research projects. This is the foundation’s own grant program, separate from the commodity commission and council funding opportunities it also lists and administers.
