WiSys is seeking applications for a research funding initiative, offering support to small businesses, nonprofits and scientists for agriculture-focused projects.
UWM Research Foundation President Jessica Silvaggi called for applicants to the Forward Ag: Use-Inspired R&D program in a recent post. She noted the effort aims to support “innovative agricultural research with real-world applications” in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
Program organizers are seeking applied research ideas pertaining to supply chain innovation, climate-smart farming, crop and livestock productivity, management of water or other resources, workforce development and other topics. Funded research projects are eligible for up to $80,000 in funding each.
