Update – AFRI Competitive Grant Proposals Abounding
eXtension has written more than 20 letters of acknowledgment in support of teams developing and submitting Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) grant proposals. Most teams are interested in enhancing existing Communities of Practice, while a few are interested in establishing a new Community of Practice. Proposals are being submitted across a number of program areas, i.e., Foundational, Global Food Security, Food Safety, Childhood Obesity Prevention and Climate Change. CoPs have been involved in forming working partnerships and many have also provided letters of acknowledgment. In many of the proposals we have reviewed Cooperative Extension will play an active role in the development and dissemination of educational programming. It has been a learning process for all involved!
Terry: I am a little confused. I clocked the learn more about AFRI but all i found was the article about extension writing letters of support. How about providing your readers with a link to http://www.csrees.usda.gov/fo/agriculturalandfoodresearchinitiativeafri.cfm

Henry…sorry for the confusion. We’ve been providing a link to AFRI since the beginning elsewhere on our blog site: http://about.extension.org/wiki/NIFA_RFA_Information
The “learn more about AFRI” just wasn’t worded the best.
Thanks for your comment.
