PeopleSoft
Grants 8.8 is up and running! There are some changes so please
allow for extra time in working with grants folks on doing the
data entry for the new PeopleSoft signature routing sheet. Please
let Martha Jones know
if you have not received training or if you would like to receive
training. CAFNR will be arranging a training session in the near

North
Central Region SARE 2006 Call for Research and Education Preproposals
The Research
and Education (R&E) Grant Program is currently one of four
NCR-SARE grant programs. The R&E Grant Program provides funds
to collaborative teams of scientists, farmers, institutions, organizations,
and educators who are exploring sustainable agriculture through
in-depth research projects or education and demonstration projects.
Project results must benefit NCR agriculture. Most R&E grants
go to organizations that are used to handling large grants and
that can meet federal auditing requirements.You can download a
PDF file for the 2006
NCR-SARE Research and Education call for preproposals and
a Word file for the coverpage.
The Word document cover page can be used as a template rather
than having to retype the cover page.
The call for
preproposals is also available on the "call for proposals"
page of the NCR-SARE
Web site.
Preproposals
are due in the Lincoln NCR-SARE office by June 15, 2005.
The following
are highlights of this year's call for preproposals:
- SARE changes
a few items in the call for preproposals every year, so authors
should use the 2006 call for preproposals as their guide rather
than a version from previous years.
- SARE does
not want support letters included with the preproposals. The
author needs to find a way to indicate that farmers and other
end users for the information are appropriately involved in
the project, but they do not want to see support letters at
the preproposal stage.
- SARE doesn't
like to see a lengthy appendices at the preproposal stage.
- If you
have had funded projects in the past, SARE is going to be looking
closely at a project coordinator's reporting history. If a person
who wants to submit a preproposal has any delinquent reports
on past NCR-SARE projects, it would be a good idea to submit
those reports before writing a new preproposal.
