Submit a Research Concept

Hearing from the food and agriculture community ensures that FFAR research is relevant to U.S. farmers and scientists. As such, FFAR allows researchers to submit their own research concepts using the form below.

Instructions

Complete the form below. Please note that this portal is not an application. Submitting a research concept neither commits FFAR to launching programs in the proposed area nor entitles the submitter to receive funds if FFAR conducts research in a similar or related area.. FFAR typically reviews concepts and responds within 30 days of receipt.

Why is FFAR the best fit for this research concept proposal?

Should FFAR staff determine that the research concept does not align with current priorities and available funding, the concept will remain in our database for future consideration. As potential opportunities arise, FFAR may connect you with groups pursuing similar goals. If you would prefer that your interest in a particular area remain confidential, you may opt out of this potential for "matchmaking" by checking the box below.

No, do not connect me with other potential partners. I prefer to keep my interest in this area confidential.
