National Research Initiative - Plant Biology (C): Biochemistry
The National Research Initiative (NRI) was not reauthorized in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246; i.e., the 2008 Farm Bill). We encourage you to explore funding opportunities under the new Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive grants program at www.csrees.usda.gov/business/reporting/stakeholder/an_stakeholder_afri. Identification and characterization of biochemical processes and pathways, as well the genes and proteins involved in these processes and pathways, will facilitate development of agricultural and forestry plants with improved or optimized productivity, quality, and sustainability. The goal of this program is to provide basic knowledge about biochemical processes, pathways, and interactions in agriculturally and economically important plants and related organisms.
