  • Presents a strong education and outreach plan describing how the results will be disseminated to the farming community and potential impacts.

  • Describes the qualifications and skills of the applicants and all cooperators demonstrating that they are qualified to ensure the success of the project.
  • Presents a well-justified and detailed budget appropriate to carrying out the project's objectives, showing any matching funds applied for or already secured.
 
IF YOUR PROJECT IS FUNDED

OFRF requires that successful applicants sign a grant contract before initial payment of the grant award. OFRF will retain 10 percent of the total grant award until completion of the project, timely submission of a final report by the grantee, and a satisfactory evaluation of the project by OFRF. Evaluation involves analyzing whether or not the original project objectives were met, not the success or failure of a project. Annual reports are due on the anniversary of the project start date, and a final report is required within three months of project completion.

Suggested references:

OFRF's previously-funded projects. This will give the applicant a sense of the type of projects the Board has an interest in funding and help avoid duplicating previously funded work.

OFRF's Guide to Conducting On-farm Research, which may be useful in determining project objectives and experimental design.
