Over $1 million in project funds
available!

Maximum funding allowed under this program is $70,000 per year. Proposals can be multi-year projects up to three years in duration, but funding is available on a year-by-year basis. If a project is funded for one year, there is no guarantee that funds will be available for subsequent years. In some years, highly- ranked proposals have received funding for more than one year, with multi-year funding released in the first year. It is anticipated there will be at least $1 million available in the grant pool for research projects this year. This funding request should address small fruit and grape research needs in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and Idaho).
