The Organic Farming Research Foundation (OFRF) has a Nov. 16 deadline for a grants program for research and education projects that will improve or support organic production methods. The announcement's opening paragraph notes that the "OFRF particularly encourages farmers, ranchers, researchers, and Extension personnel to consider applying for funding." In the last funding cycle, the average research grant was $13,300, and the average grant for educational and training outreaches was $8,883.
OFRF's Web page for its grants program has some concise insights into proposal preparation and funding agency preferences that may be of interest to research and Extension faculty whose areas of subject-matter expertise aren't connected to organic agriculture. The Web page includes guides to writing project reports, and literature reviews.
