Evaluation and Fund Criteria

Each Agricultural Research Fund (ARF) Grant Review Committee (GRA) should establish its own review procedures. The only requisite component for initial ARF funding is the written proposal. Annual progress reports are requisite for continued funding of multi-year projects. GRCs may wish amplifying information by having requesters available during deliberations, requesting oral presentations from requesters, tours of research facilities, etc. Neither SBARE nor ARF funds will be available to support the operating expenses of ARF GRCs. ^{(SBARE Minutes February 9, 1998)}
