Do you have a floriculture research project that needs funding? If so, the American Floral Endowment (AFE) could do just that! AFE is calling for "Pre-Proposals" for 2014-2015 funding. For the current 2013-2014 cycle, AFE will fund $224,000 in research. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure funding for your project!
Scientific Research Project Examples:
- Management protocols for floriculture crops
- Management systems for diseases of floriculture crops
- Management systems for insects affecting floricultural crops
- Post-harvest management systems for floriculture and plant breeding
- Genetic engineering of floricultural crops
A full list of scientific research priorities can be found on the AFE website. Research projects can last from one to three years and any reasonable but justifiable budget will be considered. Pre-Proposal applications are available on the AFE website and are due no later than June 1, 2013. For more information, contact AFE at (703) 838-5211.
