Watch Mini-Conference RecordingAG2PI will be hosting a Seed Grant Conference on January 19, 2022 from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM (CST, UTC-6). This conference will provide an overview of the revised seed grant mechanism, brief overviews of awarded projects, and the chance for attendees to meet via zoom breakout sessions. As before, these breakout sessions will serve as a teaming event and will create the virtual space to discuss seed grant ideas with potential collaborators.
Conference Schedule
Quick overview of seed grant mechanism
AG2PI now offers three seed grant mechanisms to support the development of community solutions
to research needs and opportunities, as well as gaps in physical infrastructure and data management.
Discussion will include what kinds of projects and events will be supported by Round 3 grants, Community Event
Rolling
grants and working group grants.
Cattle genome to herd phenotyping for precision Ag
This team is working to establish a network of researchers from a variety of disciplines and agencies to facilitate generation and implementation of next generation phenotyping technologies in cattle and ascertain existing resources.
Identifying educational resources and gaps in AG2P data science across plant and animal agriculture genomics
The goal of this team is to catalog the available resources and resource gaps in data science to support agricultural G2P research and to outline solutions to fill the gaps.
Optimizing 3D canopy architecture for better crops
This project aims to generate high-quality training data for plant (and potentially animal) segmentation for ML to identify core traits of agronomic importance, which will help address a significant problem in understanding how genotype and environment influence phenotype in crops and livestock.
Empowering high-throughput phenotyping using UAVs
This project is building a broader community by studying barriers to UAV use and supporting the communication and adoption of standard procedures related to the use and publication of UAV imagery in plant and animal research.
Seeding public-private partnerships for AG2P training
The main goal of this project is to form public-private partnerships to expand meaningful interactions between industry and the public sector.
Team Science training preview
Funding organizations are calling for large scientific teams to develop solutions to complex global problems. Where do you start? How do you effectively manage the resources, people, and ideas? The goal of this preview is to provide PIs, Co-PIs, and future PIs with a summary of the resources they need to improve team interactions to promote knowledge creation.
Team Breakout Sessions
Join to discuss your seed grant idea, meet new potential collaborators and possibly organize a team!
