The Pacific Northwest Vegetable Association has been a strong proponent of vegetable production research in the Pacific Northwest by seeking to accomplish three goals:
#1: Convey grower research needs to appropriate agencies and research organizations.
#2: Provide a clearing house for vegetable research funding.
#3: Initiate research projects by designating a portion of PNVA operating funds for support of new research projects.
Funding will be for one year only and after the first year, the researcher is expected to find funding sources to continue the project. The researcher is encouraged to try to leverage additional matching funds from other resources, based on the PNVA grant.
A brief written report to the PNVA will be expected at the annual meeting and a presentation may be requested at the annual meeting to disseminate the information to the industry.
