Research proposals at Sustainable Agriculture Project sought
Dec 21, 2016
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship is accepting proposals from faculty members for projects related to the university's Sustainable Agriculture Project.
Amy McFarland, assistant professor of environmental studies, said projects should reflect the SAP's mission of triple bottom line (environmental, economic, social justice) sustainability associated with agriculture. McFarland cited project examples, such as research on sustainable food systems, public health or nutrition, and social and food justice.
Faculty members from all disciplines are encouraged to apply; up to $6,000 will be awarded in supplies and materials. The deadline for submission is January 27.
Criteria for proposals are posted online and include a 200-word abstract, letter of support, updated CV and a research/scholarship statement. Application packets can be sent to Susan Mendoza, director of undergraduate research and scholarship, via email at [email protected].
This fund is supported by the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies and the Office of Undergraduate Research and Scholarship.
