This is an encouragement to submit proposals on sustainable agriculture issues
to the NRI's "Agricultural Prosperity for Small & Medium Sized Farms" Program.

The submission deadline is June 5, 2008.  The RFA can be found on pages
111-112 of the NRI RFA:  www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/rfas/nri_rfa.html.

As you will recall, proposals for this program must be "integrated" [contain
at least two of the three functions:  research, outreach, and education]. 
This year the program is highlighting involvement of Extension folks &
curriculum development that involves K-12 teachers.  The program also
encourages applications on sustainable biofuel production.

If you need any assistance please contact Suresh Sureshwaran at 202-720-7536
or ssureshwaran at csrees.usda.gov.
