Researchers preparing proposals for the USDA’s Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) or large proposals for other funding agencies are invited to view the video files from the 2011 CALS workshop, “Preparing Multi-Institutional Proposals For USDA AFRI Challenge Areas,” at http://www.ag.iastate.edu/research/fundingResources/node/94.

The workshop features Lois Wright Morton, John Patience, Alison Robertson, and Ken Moore, who share their experiences in leading or playing a key role in four successful multi-institutional, transdisciplinary proposals submitted to the USDA for AFRI funding. The video files also include an introduction and Q&A, and the workshop handouts are available for downloading.
