USDA agricultural experiment station directors are coordinating a two-day grant writing workshop in Washington, DC, Sept. 7 - 8. The focus the first day will be up-to-date information on USDA's competitive grants program, and the second day's sessions will cover the basics of organizing and writing proposals. The workshop is open to Extension as well as research faculty. There are a limited number of travel stipends available for faculty from 1890 Land-Grants and other minority institutions.
