Call for Pulse Research Proposals
One of the top priorities of Manitoba Pulse Growers Association is to fund research activities that will positively impact the farmer’s bottom line. Each year MPGA funds numerous pulse and soybean research projects.
The 2012 submission deadline is Tuesday, November 15th. MPGA Board of Directors will review the research proposals and final funding decisions in December 2011. Researchers will be notified by the end of December 2011 or early January 2012.
Every project will be carefully reviewed by the board of directors and be given serious consideration; however, projects that fit into the following categories will be more favorably received:
a) Projects that address the issues as outlined in our list of priorities (listed in the attached document)
b) Projects that demonstrate collaboration cross-provincially and with other researchers
c) Projects that show joint investment with other funding bodies, or that qualify for matching industry or government funding
d) Projects that follow the proposal guidelines as outlined in the proposal document
e) Projects that provide benefits and value to pulse crop producers
Multiple year projects are acceptable. Please note that annual reports are required and subsequent funding will be based on successful completion of milestones. A final report is required once the project is complete.
The document below outlines our research priority areas, requested proposal format and all other details relating to submitting your proposal to our office. Please review the document in its entirety.
