Eligible Activities
The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative supports interdisciplinary research projects that advance agricultural productivity, efficiency, and data-driven innovation across crop and animal systems. The purpose of the program is to:
• Study agriculturally significant crops and animals in production environments to achieve sustainable agricultural production.
• Ensure that gaps in existing knowledge of agricultural crop and animal genetics and phenomics are filled.
• Identify and develop a functional understanding of relevant genes from animals and agronomically relevant genes from crops that are of importance to the U.S.’ agriculture sector.
• Ensure future genetic improvement of crops and animals of importance to the U.S.’ agriculture sector.
• Study the relevance of diverse germplasm as a source of unique genes that may be of importance in the future.
• Enhance genetics to reduce the economic impact of pathogens on crops and animals of importance to the U.S.’ agriculture sector.
• Disseminate findings to relevant audiences.
Specific to this opportunity, workshop proposals should organize interdisciplinary agricultural genome-to-phenome workshops that engage with scientists on high-priority, stakeholder-driven issues. Workshop grants are not intended to support existing conferences or serve as an alternative to conference sponsorship.
