Request for Pierce's Disease Research Proposal 2009
Deadline: January 16, 2009
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Pierce's Disease and Glassy-winged Sharpshooter (PD/GWSS) Board and the University of California (UC) Pierce's Disease Research Grants Program are accepting proposals for Biological and Economic research projects on Pierce's disease and its vectors.
Biological Research Proposals: Projects are being sought that will contribute to finding solutions to this serious disease of grapevines and that are relevant to California conditions. All proposals received will be considered to be submitted to both programs. Thus, each proposal must have two versions of the same budget, one under the format for each program. Proposals will be evaluated in a unified process. However, the CDFA program and the UC program will separately identify those projects that each program will support.
Economic Research Proposals: Projects are being sought that will contribute to an understanding of the economic impact of PD/GWSS on agriculture. All proposals received will be considered to be submitted to CDFA only.
Proposals are due via electronic submission on Friday, January 16, 2009. Research contracts will be awarded for one to three years, beginning with fiscal year 2009-10 (July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010). For projects awarded two or three years of funding, receipt of a subsequent year of funding will be contingent upon satisfactory progress being made during the prior year.
