There are presently 3 projects in their third year of funding which were granted on a three-year basis. These proposals will be reviewed and rated by the Scientific Advisory Council listed on the left side of this letterhead. Those ten projects receiving the highest rating will be recommended to the ASRF Board of Directors for support. The Board of Directors will select, from this group, three to five projects for funding. Grants will be announced in July 2001.
ASRF funding is supplemental to conventional sources.
It is anticipated that ASRF selection of the projects for funding will be a significant factor in assisting the scientists to obtain additional support from other sources. ASRF funds are granted strictly for operational costs. Institutional administrative costs will not be paid with these funds . Research supported ASRF Grants are intended for the benefit of the public good. We ask that you make this information available to those scientists in your institution involved with fundamental research on seeds.
